Thumbs down SVT Focus and its cocky pilot

I hate **** like yesterday:

I was driving down Ashby in Berkeley where two lanes must merge down to one......I was in right lane (no need to merge), and a Focus was somewhat behind me in the left lane (he has to merge).....and with all the new radar-tell-tale speed signs on Ashby, I keep it under 30mph. Just as the lanes merge, the silver Focus blows by me, its muffler screaming and weaves through oncoming traffic into my lane just in front of me. And of course, the driver gives me this "bye bye" wave like he blew me off. Yeah dude, you're a genius.

I may know who this guy is. Was it an older white guy (may be wearing sunglasses, kinda resembles Larry David)?

only saw his waving hand. I was actually trying to be courteous and let him merge if he wanted.

you can prevent SINGLE occurrences; after they recover, whether that's physically or mentally, they go back to driving like asses. it's just better to brush it off and continue on. it's times like that when music really soothes the soul.

if you are referring to me, no I DON'T drive like an a$$hole. I doubt that I have EVER pulled any of the crap that I see a lot of these dumbf-cks do consistently every god damn day. There is no reason to be a ***** behind the wheel. I've had cars blow by me @ 90mph + on the RH side as I'm trying to exit a freeway. This is really f-cking dumb. Whatever happened to using the fast lane and using the high beam to request the slower car in front of you to move over? The highways are becoming pathways of deadly anarchy if you ask me.
