Well, it's nice that you have a place. I see people struggle with that every day on a couple of our older ramps, where visibility is very short. The drivers who refuse to give way or even watch what's going on around them make it very difficult to merge. We have these two particular ramps like this that everyone knows about, yet even the locals still insist that they must stay nose to tail in the right lane while the left lane is vacant. Pretty easy to sympathize with the driver trying to jockey his way in through that.

This is why guys who demand some sort of unbreakable honor to the left lane just crack me up - almost as much as the ones who are afraid to use it when it makes sense.


Lunatic fringe....we all know you're out there.
