Maybe im missing something but I feel that thoes with the "right of way" are sometimes more of a problem than people that are just trying to get on the road and get on with their day.

As far as merging, thats another huge issue in anchorage, techincally the person on the highway has the right of way but both should yeild a little bit so that the merge can happen without incident. Mabye we should just eliminate the highway and put up lights if people cant play nice and act like bi*ches every time they have the right of way.

People that act like the own the road just because they have the right of way at the time are JUST as much of a problem as people who dart out and cut people off, they would not have to dart out if people would yeild.

This morning I had to make a quick stop on Tudor on my way into the office. As ususal, I took 36th east from the Seward Hwy a couple blocks past my destination, made a right down a side street and approached Tudor to make a right turn as well. As I was waiting for oncoming traffic at the corner with my turn signal flashing, a white F150 approched me from behind to make a right turn as well. However, this clown apparently did not want to wait, so without slowing he went around me to the left and pulled directly in front of the oncoming traffic on Tudor, nearly causing a multi-car collision. It was only the fact that Tudor was dry that the cars there had a chance to execute an emergeny stop.

This incident confirms what I have seen over and over here on Anchorage streets. There is a percentage of drivers on the road (probably 10-15%) who obviously believe that the normal rules of the road simply do not apply to them. Their selfish attitudes (probably due to poor upbringing by their parent) put the safety (and the very lives) of others at risk simply because they refuse to wait a few extra seconds to get to their destinaton.
