When you let someone merge into the spot in front of you & the #### doesn't give you the courtesy of a wave

Why do you need a wave? Will it put a smile on your face?

You do realise merging traffic has the right of way. Don't you.

Still when the fk up merging on freeway and dont speed up instead come on the freeway at 60km/h and you need to brake to let them in.

do not live in vic but in nsw if you have to cross a painted road line then NO you do not have right of way.

If a lane is ending or there is an off ramp then yes you do and I'm in nsw its law and common courtesy but that's why Sydney is always in gridlock at peak hour traffic because nobody thinks properly and the road authority didn't have any brains when it comes to designing roads if I had of designed them then there wouldn't have been a problem because the idea would have been add an extra lane or 2 when traffic to an off ramp and remove that extra lane or 2 when it came to an on ramp that way there would be plenty of time for people to get into the correct lane without congesting it

Do not confuse courtesy and etiquette with the law. Standing up when the Judge enters the courtroom is an example of courtesy and etiquette. The judge saying you are guilty is an example of the law.

If you’re in the lane that is going to merge in to an existing lane (i.e your lane ends with painted dashed lines), any vehicles already in the continuing existing lane have the right of way - even if your car is ahead of them. The car in the lane that ends does NOT have right of way.

That is the law in NSW.

My bad yes that is right the only time it doesn't apply is when 2 lanes become one and in which case if the driver in the left lane is more ahead than the driver then the driver in the right lane has to give way and vice versa so ill remember that lol while I'm at it ill look up some more road rules tomorrow lol been a few Years

Ah, the thank you wave.

Puts a smile on my face, it's just a nice thing. Like when somebody holds the elevator for you, do you just barge in and stand silently? or do you barge in and say "thank you". At the end of the day they're doing you a favor, the least you could do is thank them.

What pisses me off is the amount of people that deliberately sit nice and close to the car in front of them to avoid letting me in and give me the stare ahead when I try to politely ask if I can get in. I'm asking, nicely signaling, you can see I'm dying here and my lane is finished, but no, that's okay 4WD wielding soccer mum, you being a few meters closer to your destination is much more important.

Even though we are all going to be crawling on this god forsaken motorway for the next hour, you being in front of me is going to make a world of difference!

I always let people in because to me it seems it's going make sweet f all difference if a car or two gets in front of me. We could be driving 10kmh faster and still not even shave 5 minutes from arrival time.

Painted traffic islands are another problem. They are not considered as part of the normal lane system. Sometimes islands get used to allow traffic to keep flowing while we queue for a turn. But if you are on the island and involved in a crash with a car in the turning lane or the continuing lane (even if it pushes in front of you while you are leaving the island) you lose.
