While driving through heavy traffic on my daily commute to San Francisco from San Anselmo, I see some really stupid drivers. Driving to Macys the other day on highway 101 with thick traffic as I came from school (USF), I totally lost respect for a fellow MBZ driver. I was driving along in the far right lane (the EXIT ONLY lane). I had left ample room in front of me. A dark blue ’00 E-Class merged into the far right lane (the one I was in). I figured she wanted to take the Paradise Drive exist. After she gets into my lane, she decides to drive VERY slowly while talking on her cell phone. I figure, it’s cool; I’m in no rush. Right before the lane exists, she cuts off another guy in the second to far-right lane. What an @$$. I was pissed off. No turn signal, nothing. She simply cut off the poor person. She had merged into an EXIT only lane ONLY so she could cut someone off and get back into the normal lanes to avoid a few minutes of driving slow due to traffic.
It really pissed me off that a fellow MBZ owner would do that. I have seen tons of people cut other people off while cutting traffic in exist only lanes; however, when I saw someone in an MBZ do it, I was upset. I guess I had figured that all (mistake, should be *most*) MBZ drivers have at least a little bit of respect not to do such stupid things. Oh well.
