    I knew someone who didn’t use a blinker and this was their justification, and I’m like my guy you’re in Seattle now; people will drive dangerously in order to let you merge when they really shouldn’t!

      I’m glad I’m not crazy! Coming from Texas, the many times I’ve driven in and around Seattle, they are 100% like this. People slowing down to well under the speed limit to allow merging, and the almost 0% of speeding is so foreign to me. I feel like everyone there is dangerously polite while driving.

        I hate when someone stops in traffic to let me out of a parking lot or to let me turn left across their lane. You have right of way! Being polite isn’t worth driving dangerously!
