How do you feel about these people who never signal and weave in and out of traffic like they are the only ones on the road. This passing in the middle of intersections make me wonder how some people pass Drivers Ed.Your thoughts???

Actually, each state's laws are different on passing in intersections. Here in Arizona it is legal to do so, and it is legal to pass before the intersection. I have been teaching driver's ed for 5 years in Arizona and I know traffic law backwards and forwards. I can tell you that most people do not know traffic laws very well for their own state, much less for other states, so don't take the word of people you talk to (even me - I know Arizona law, but not the laws of the other 49 states).
I can tell you that the solid white lines you sometimes see before an intersection do not necessarily mean "no lane changes". According to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), a white line is an indication of possible danger and you "should" not pass. "Should" is not regulatory, it is a suggestion. So, according to Federal standards, you can cross over a solid white line if you do it safely. However, state law can further restrict that, so you have to check the specific laws for your state.
Look it up on the web or contact me and I will try to find a link for you. |

Yes. There is a lot going on at an intersection and you can get a ticket for this.
I hate it when people do that. |

Yes it illegal. Another one that really bugs me is, drivers getting into the left turn lane, the cutting in front of me as I'm going straight. They get in the turn-lane just to be first in line.
All these rude drivers should plow into a gasoline truck and burn. |

You are correct. You are not supposed to pass near an intersection. That means coming out of it, as well as going in.
In my state, they "leveled the playing field" so much, when it come to getting licensed, that all you really have to know is where the key goes.
Our cops don't know the traffic code any better than the average dimwit civilian on our roads. |

It's illegal to pass on the left at an intersection. In most states it's legal to pass on the right if the vehicle you're passing is turning left and there is room to pass safely. |

You are correct. Every day I drive, I am amazed at the nincomepoops who have been allowed on the road. I only wish we had more cops to witness these bad behaviours. |

I agree with you those people are idiots too. How in the world did some of these people get their license and even more puzzling is how are they keeping it? And yes, it's illegal to pass or change lanes at intersections. |

Changing lanes in an intersection is a moving violation. Actually, changing lanes before an intersection, in those solid-lined sections, is also a violation.
Drivers are getting more and more selfish I've noticed. It's perhaps because driver's ed isn't a requirement in a lot of places. |
