Very funny.

It would probably be easier if they followed the flow downstream a bit, but human frogger is pretty funny to watch.

Easiest way is to run with them and change over.  But alas, most people want to get to the other side as fast as he/she can.

It’s along the same phenomenon why so many Americans don’t know how to merge onto a highway/interstate..etc. So many think going 45mph into traffic going 70-75mph is the safe and responsible way to do it.

One of my biggest pet peeves in driving.

+1.  Drives me nuts when I see someone going 40 into 70 MPH highway.

Don't they know they need to reach the traffic speed before merging?  What are these people thinking?  It is dangerous to go slow in a fast traffic.

Reminds me of merging onto freeways when I was out in California. They had big, digital signs above some of the on ramps that would tell you, "DON'T SLOW DOWN! FIND A SPACE AND GET IN IT!" Seems pretty common sense for a state like California! 

Like Vinsk said, I've had people coming down an on ramp well in front of me who slow down until we're caught in a pinch! I can't move over because of the traffic on my left, and these people are too stupid to look at all the space in front of them! On the contrary I've had people, usually guys, who are behind me on the ramp, floor it because "they're in a hurry", and are bound and determined to get to the freeway in front of me. 

In both cases they are stupid, and poor drivers!
