There’s this part of my commute home where two lanes turns into three lanes (a lane on the right is added because of a merge) and then about a half mile later, this right lane merges in and the road becomes two lanes again. Imagine that it’s an extended merging lane.
It’s maddening that so many drivers who were in the right lane will jump over to the “new” right merging lane and snake down the side, just to merge to the left again and cause us all to slow down. I hate those people. I wish I had a rocket launcher on my car at times like those.
