Let you switch lanes?

As they say in Rome, carpe viam. Don't ask for permission, just start moving your car towards the other fuckers. They'll move if they prefer not to have scratches on their car.

Oh also you're gonna wanna drive a shitbox in case they decide to tank those scratches.

    Just Mad Max your vehicle. Bumpers, spikes and flames on the sides of your car will convince people to kindly yield.

    The US does not teach you to drive. It is laughable how easy it is to get a license with a fraction of the training of most other western countries.

    moved from the US to Europe - US high school takes less effort in total than a driver's license here

    Yea my partner is British, and with her work a number of Brits come through on assignment and need to take the test when they are here. I was young, so it felt so hard, but seeing it through adult eyes, wow. I mean one of them forgot the car was in reverse and almost backed into another car, hit the curb, and still passed.

    I had to learn this quick when I lived in Philadelphia for a couple years. Works great everywhere else, too!

    I'm sorry but you're the one that's going to have to pay for those damages

    Thankfully most people hate insurance claims more than they like being assholes

    Someone breaking the law and hitting your car should be an easy claim, but here we just call the cops if there's a disagreement over who caused what. Makes claim stuff (even) easier.

    Doesn't stop people just trying to smash into others though
