the practice of some drivers that prevents others from changing lanes to exit a freeway or other
high-speed roadway. the blocker is between the
car exiting and the actual exit, and must be travelling in the lane furthest
right (in left-hand-drive countries only,) and going at the same speed as the exiting
car. this action can cause massive amounts of road
rage because often drivers take extreme measures to maintain their position or to get off the road. the blocked driver must usually take the next exit, which is no problem in big cities. when out in the middle of nowhere, however, the next exit
may be many miles ahead, increasing the feelings of road
rage. note: if the exiting driver is trying to get off from the far left lane, he is a dumbass and should have his license revoked. in this case off-ramp blocking has not occured.
bonnie: these
people are so rude here!! i was trying to change lanes so i could get off at 76th street, but some dumbass in a kia spectra stayed alongside of me for miles! i couldn't get off until national avenue!! what a
bastard!!
connie: yeah, it's a
real problem on the new bypass. lonnie calls it off-ramp blocking, but i call it sheer stupidity.
lonnie: you betcher ass, ladies!!
