The only selfish driver IMO was the Santa Fe driver, not allowing me to merge and speeding up to match my speed. I was indicating my intentions and as per usual the Santa Fe driver quickly closed the gap, and because of the Santa Fe's previous slow speed there was several cars behind them, further making a merge at that point more difficult. What I did in that situation was the safest possible way to go about it when you factor in the uncontrollable decisions of the drivers around me.

I am hyper aware of where I can make maneuvers. I noticed the white van in the left lane coming up to the merge point well in advance and indicated my intentions in advance. I completed my lane change safely and before the white van could legally change lanes. The white van had more than enough room to make their lane change in front of the Jetta driving 30% slower than the speed limit.

As I see it, there's nothing wrong with that road other than people who can't navigate traffic effectively. In this video at no time did I cut anyone off or compromise the safety of others. Because history has created an opinion in your mind, it is not an effective way to determine future actions without knowing all the details.

I contemplated editing the video down, but thought to myself there's no way someone would be pedantic enough to criticize that lane change...
