Really folks, The Macdonald Bridge is busy in the afternoons to Dartmouth, but the slow lane (right) is so slow because of all you folks who think it’s ok to speed up the middle lane and cut over at the end before the tolls. Folks, get in the lane you need to be in and stay there. And don’t give me the horn because I won’t let you in. I patiently stayed in this lane, you don’t deserve to be let in. And to those who can’t keep up with traffic, or leave gaps these people cut into, or worse, let them in, stop it. You only make the trip slower. —Would Like to Get There Today

OP, just do like they do. It’ll shave some time off your commute.
yeah seriously, I do this every, single, time I cross the bridge during “rush hour”
To all those people that leave gaps for me to hop in, thanks!
The signs quite clearly say “Do not change lanes” so I don’t let people in. Same goes for the morning commute over to Hfx; if you know you’re turning right/left at the North-Gottigen intersection, why on earth would you be in the opposite lane for the entire length of the bridge?
grumble.

because it’s waaay quicker.
you do you, I do me

I don’t want to be up someone’s ass when they decide to slam on the breaks. That’s how accidents happen. I’m leaving a gap for my own safety.
Good for you,I don’t let them in either OB. Its too bad more folks don’t do the same.
I have to mention how funny I find the actions of the people who I won’t let cut in front … the pain & anguish I feel from their giving me the finger & making gestures while they curse me…oh right, I’m enjoying it too much to feel anything ~;)
Get over yourselves and let people change lanes. I cross the bridge once in a blue moon when I miss the UPS truck. I do not know which lane I need to be in until I see the signs. Unfortunately at that point the appropriate lanes are full of a-hole commuting darkness dwellers that feel they are on a personal crusade to prevent the mortal sin that is lane changing. I’m glad years of driving the Decarie gauntlet in Montreal means I’m getting in front of you despite your tailgating, honking and nasty glares but will regret if your head actually explodes at being one car further back.
did you arrive to where you were going alive o.p., then i guess you are either lucky, or a better driver. if people want to lane hop or whatever, that is up to them. if they want to kill themselves doing so, that is up to them also.
as long as you practice safe driving, to hell with the other fucking idiots on the road. as long as they don’t immediately threaten your safety, piss on them.
