A mile and half at 60 mph is around 90 seconds. So you had to come down from the speed limit to zero, in under 90 seconds, seeing as the right lane was stopped. You stated yourself that you did the speed limit for about a mile and a half. So you were doing what, 60-65 mph at the end of the cones? Wow. Highly unsafe. Also, If you were doing the speed limit entering a construction zone......
I wouldn't have let you in. And the reason she tried to block is that she had probably done the prudent thing and gotten into the right lane when it was safe to do so instead of forcibly getting in the right lane at the cones...So at least you know one girl was "put out"..... I don't condone cutting anyone off. But exactly what was it you did? And sure you did. You cut off the people who had gotten into or were already in the right lane waiting to get home before you came along and got in front of them...And how if they were sitting still how did you get in? That is right, one of those "idiots" who had gotten into the right lane before you, had to keep their
brakes on while you got in ahead of them.....
Politeness on the road is everyone's responsibility, bragging about how you beat everyone to the cones is not......
