More and more lately, I encountered situations where someone in a merging lane beside me just speeds up and cuts in front of me however narrow the gap is and just misses the front of my car by inches. I have to slam on the brakes to avoid a collision.
I am not rude and always give plenty of room for cars to merge into my lane but I am talking about selfish drivers from way behind who decides to come at very high speed when there is basically one car length between me and the end of the merge lane.
I think the only solution is to get a faster and more powerful car where I can shut that gap before these guys even come close. I am no street racer but I am coming to the conclusion that more power gives you more control and thus more safety. My friend has a Corvette and he merely touches the gas pedal and nobody can cut in front of him. Sound sad that the daily commute is turning into an arms race. Might seems to make right nowadays.
What’s your opinion?
I want to clarify the situation a bit more. I am talking when there is a lot of traffic and everyone is travelling slowly (10-15mph), and I have let 3 cars into my lane but there is always that one aggressive guy who decides to gun it and slip in the gap in front of me. This is not road rage! And please tell me how to leave 5 car lengths of space in rush hour traffic, its not possible?

WRONG! Most accidents are caused by too fast. If slower than people would have time to avoid many accidents. The problem you are experiencing is not due to speed, but because of bad manners.
starting to get a car length between you and the person in front of you, and no more problems than TAILGATER.
You must live in Massachusetts
Do what you do and any early departure for work and do not let these people crazy about you. . .
What we propose is considered road rage where I live and are very severe penalties for individuals caught doing so. Simply the best person and the other driver in traffic and no one is in danger. What is the next load. .45 Automatic in the passenger seat?!?!
I understand your concern about the aggressive driver to want to go to the front of the merging lane and cut in the last moment.N not forget that you can control only the driver, trying to do is anger driving and probably are the result of a suggestion accident.Ma is try to relax while driving and continue to leave space between you and the car ahead, check your mirrors frequently and be prepared to “idiots” who cut his parole.nous drivers need more like you routeMerci
Buy an old pickup and reinforce the sides with steel plate. When the speed demons on the ramp to test your little game to pass come through, do what he did my cousin. So far, has been seven hits, no errors, no tickets. With some really expensive toys to be broken.
