Should I give way to the Mercedes ? This is the first time I experience such situation.
Mercedes looked like it couldn't decide which lane. And you got into its blind spot. Assuming the driver even bothered to check the mirrors. Probably best not to attempt to drive on past the Mercedes until it looks firmly committed to its lane. No telling if its driver is talking, texting, eating a hamburger, applying makeup, etc. due to the dark tinted windows. Mercedes idiocy was confirmed when it ran the red light.

EDIT: I'm not a native speaker so sorry for the English. Let me try this again: I suppose I should have the right of way in this situation. Is that right ?
Lol I hate it when that happens. I sometimes try to get around someone that's driving really really slow when approaching one of our long turning lanes and this happens every once in a blue moon.

That late horn though, lol.

He basically cut you off - and as said, probably didn't see you. But he did have his blinker on. ANYTIME someone has a blinker on and they can make a move, then best to EXPECT them to make a move you are not expecting. That is one key to defensive driving.

Too bad there wasn't a red light camera to catch him running the red. He probably didn't want you to get out and smash in his windows at the stop light - LoL.

nah the MB driver prob still had no clue what they did while they were going through the light. you guys just have to always be aware that a lot of drivers are just completely oblivious to everything/everyone around them.

Yes I think you are right, I should use more caution while trying to pass that SUV. That empty lane and the counting green light made me too aggressive.

Two of the kids knuckled my trunk. No damage, except for my health due to increased blood pressure.

Nah, I'm done with that series. But, perhaps I'll do one on why some people feel that it's not racist to call kids "thugs" just because they're African-American. If they were white, I can guarantee that isn't how they would have been described. And the "Ted Cruz" comment above tells you everything you need to know about that guy. It's 2016 people, will when you learn to see past the color of peoples skin?

I know...I know...I'm prepared for the storm that will follow.
