[QUOTE="FlipTrac_511, post: 800123, member: 60310"] I feel for you TJR. I'm not sure why drivers treat a merge as a lane change when they should be naturally working their way up to the point of merge. On the other hand, I am aware that there are drivers who do exploit the situation, shot-holeing and jumping in and out of lanes, and driving on the shoulder. This is what upsets drivers who have been patiently "waiting their turn". This is why when the merge is [u]slow[/u], I will match the speed of the other lane despite how many yards I have before the tip of the merge. This means, if the other lane is stopped, I will stop or crawl very slowly even though there are no cars in front of me. This way I slowly and safely wedge my ST into the other lane. A true merge IMO. This way nobody feels cut-off, exploiters and lane cutters can't go 'round, and I rally other drivers behind me to do the same which I think helps move traffic along fairly.
