Hurry Up and Slow Down

Here's what I don't understand. Why is it impossible for people on the road during rush hour to drive courteously? Nobody wants to let anybody in, everybody tailgates, and the lane changing.

I understand you want to get home. So do I. But you're not getting there any faster by not letting people merge off the on-ramp. It seems to me that one of the downfalls of our society today is the lack of common courtesy. Let one person in, then continue on your way. Traffic will flow so much smoother and everybody wins.

Let's get home safely, as quick as possible, and with a little human decency.
