This is to all the ASSHOLES in the left lane from Quinpool Road to the Rotary..And Yes you KNOW who you are!..You are those ASSHOLES who switch lanes to the right WITHOUT seeing if there is a a car IN the lane already!..It is a god damn LANE CHANGE if you didn’t know it already!..Signal lights or “look behind” you ring a bell? I can count on more than two hands when I have been close to TOTALLED by assholes thinking the lane is their own! Do a proper lane change IDIOTS!

…maybe don’t follow so close and this won’t be a problem for you. there are often cars parked in the right lane leading up to the roundabout from this direction, so people are forced to move to the left lane- then back again, depending on where they’re headed. jus’ sayin’….
In the situation of being cut off by another car changing lanes has nothing to do with following too close. It is entirely the fault of the one changing lanes if said driver does not shoulder-check or use signal lights, as mentionned in OP. I find this very aggravating as well.As for parked cars, this would be an opportune moment to lift that left-had Index finger to flick a signal.
hmm, this is why road rage is so interesting to me…i’m not opposed to signaling at all- and yes, it’s annoying to be cut off in traffic. but in the particular location the OP is referring to, 2 lanes become 3 right at the roundabout- so people are often forced to make some last minute adjustments. all i’m saying is anticipate the problem and it won’t be so stressful.
hmm, even better, drivers should be in the right lane to begin with so they do not have to make last minute lane changes.
