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!!
