Alert | I am just curious, as I take Queen Creek Rd to Price on the way in to work. Everyday at least 1 car and sometimes more race up and force themselves in front of someone to get 2 to 10 cars ahead and onto I10. My favorites are the ones that make the double left. At least they don't take off the front bumper of the car they woud have squeezed in front of.
The person you force yourself in front of has to slam his breaks on to avoid hitting you.
Yes, I am talking to you - ugly woman in the 1998 Green Mustang GT convertible with a tan top.
I have seen many near accidents and have called DPS about getting more attention to that area.
Is your time that much more valuable than the others waiting in line, to take their turn?

Alert | And you will not get an answer that makes you happy. You are pissing into the wind on this subject. The ones that do it obviously do not care about anything but saving time. They know they are cutting people off. You (along with the hundreds of people before you on here) will only create a thread for people to blast you. It's really none of your business anyway since you are not turning onto the 10...LMAO. If you really want to entertain yourself though, get into the left lane at the signal and pace the car in the turn lane across the overpass. It drives the cutters behind you freaking bonkers. | | | |

I will do that from now on. I generally ride in the right line to watch the impending carnage. Starting Monday, I will drive in the left lane and pace the turn lane car. | | | |

Alert | I was unaware.
I really enjoy the morning drag race between the car in the turn lane and the other in the left lane trying to get over. | | | |

Alert | | Why do you ask this question, I think you already know the answer. This happens all over Phoenix all the time so it is not limited to Maricopa. A lot of the time there are semis that go slow in the left lane or people on their cell phones that allow people an opportunity to get in. Really this is more of an infrastructure problem that Maricopa has. We need to have two turn lanes there due to the huge amount of traffic. You ask why people move in there instead of waiting in line and the answer really is because they can. Why should someone wait when someone else will let them in. Just food for thought. | | | |

Alert | | I think just to throw everybody off, I'll get in the turn lane (left) and at the last second go straight. That'll give then a taste of it! | | | |

Then the car in the line was also driving inattentively or aggressively. This is a two-sided problem. | | Joined: Jul 2005 | |

Alert | | They simply don't care about anyone but themselves and believe that they are above everyone else and shouldn't have to wait like the rest of us. Don't even try to justify it any other way. | | | |

Alert | Note to self: When driving, I am not important and everyone else but me has some where to be. Those that cut me off at the I-10 on ramp are running late and need to cut us off because thay are too darn important. | | "Everything for everyone and nothing for ourselves" | |

Alert | This may seem like a goody girl post, but oh well. I do cut into the I-10 ramp....but only if I think it is, in my opinion, okay. If there are only cars in the lane, then I do not. If I see construction trucks or anything like that at the head of the line *** stopped***, then I will cut in by passing in the middle lane, if there are no more then 2-3 people already trying to do that!
If the construction vehicles are moving through the light? I will get in line and wait behind everyone else. In essence, I will NEVER cut in to make anyone else have to hit their brakes. On a few attempts that didn't work out as planned, I will go past the on ramp, turn around on Queen Creek, and make my way back to the on ramp. I wouldn't ever want to put another person in danger for me being impatient. | | | |

Alert | | It seems to me there is a big resemblance between the people that cut the line @ the I-10 ramp and the, ohhhh, what do you call them, the "Illegal Immigrants". Neither one can wait their turn. | | | |
