Albany Anchor Catches Egregious Traffic Offense Live

No one likes to be stuck in traffic. It is unfortunately just a part of commuting and sometimes you have to deal with it. There is an order to things, and certain unwritten rules that we all follow. I also fully believe in traffic karma. If I let someone in to merge then good things will happen to me. Superstitious? Sure, but I also drive around with a conicello (Italian horn) hanging from my mirror for good luck.

The moment that WNYT anchor Steve Kuzj caught live on their traffic cameras is one that I hate to see happen. You're sitting in a line of traffic to get off of a ramp and someone flies up and shoves their way in instead of waiting like everyone else. This is the traffic equivalent of butting in line. I hate it.

In the above post you can see the emotion that we've all felt when we see that exact moment happen. At first it's disbelief, then anger, and then a calmness that I can only describe as "white noise."

Caught a driver pulling the “zoom ahead of the waiting line vehicles, and cut in at the last second” move. We’ve all seen someone do this to us. These drivers should be called out and shamed.

Obviously there is nothing illegal about wiggling your way into traffic instead of waiting patiently in the long line like everyone else. Are you doing something wrong? Technically no, but people are judging you and cursing your name to whatever god they choose to worship.

We're lucky that we don't have to deal with so much traffic in Albany like they do in other congested areas, but can we at least stop doing things like this?
