    Can someone explain this to me? I don’t know why I’m not getting the joke. I might be too sleep deprived.

      It (the car) cost $700, so the driver is unconcerned about damage as a result of an accident while merging. Lots of people on the road have this weird bully complex and actively prevent people from merging into their lane because they have faith that all the other drivers on the road care enough about their cars to not want to risk damaging them in a game of chicken. That really only applies to people who paid a lot of money for their cars and are hoping to retain some of that value for when they go to resell it.

      Basically, the bumper sticker is warning people that if he starts to merge, he doesn’t care if you speed up to close the gap in traffic, he’s going to keep going and you’ll probably the the one who loses money on the repair bill.

        Even worse, chances are really good they have minimal insurance coverage. Even if they’re established as at fault, their insurance won’t cover repairs to most vehicles

        Oh, I thought it was that it didn’t the indicator didn’t work. I’ve heard in America lots of states don’t have mandatory safety checks on cars.

        Technically, the law does say that your blinker is a request & it’s up to the other drivers to let you in, otherwise you have to wait until there are no drivers in the lane you’re merging into.

      When your driving a lot of the time people’s won’t respect you and just trust that you will actively avoid accidents.

      This guy is saying he doesn’t give a fuck about his car, so that people will know not play chicken with him if they value their cars.
