I don't think this applies to what the OP is bitching about.

You are correct SpinZone, I was only half-reading and not paying attention to detail.

What the OP is pissed about equally infuriates me and is something I do NOT do -

The people merging from the left have part of the idea.

I agree with you on this so much! But...we have this thread about every 3 to 6 months and the "zipper merge" proponents get pummeled; so I gave up trying to fight it. That said, I am the guy who will drive down the lane and weasel my way in at the sign that says "merge now", I'm not going to begin lining up a half-mile back just because everyone else does.

Flame away, I can take it. And the freeking Department of Transportation has got to the point in Minnesota they are running commercials on how to do it.

Preach it brother! Can I hear an "Amen?!"

It's not...repeat...NOT intended for being an inconsiderate selfish ass when others are lined up and PLANNED AHEAD to exit onto an off ramp with the next lane of traffic zooming by.

When one zooms up to the "beginning" of the line and tries to ease their selfish ass in, they're causing a MASSIVE traffic hazard for the cars behind them that are moving at posted speeds. THAT...is what causes accidents and multiple lanes of traffic to start slowing down instead of just the one lane that's exiting.

If this was what the OP was posting about, my mistake. Those guys deserve both guns and missiles. And poo.
