I agree.

I'm that peckerwood who takes up the merge lane as soon as the dashed stripes end.
I hate people that merge into a backed up lane of traffic, and then try and leap four or five cars by getting into the ending merge lane and then getting back over.

Really only an issue on left entrances to the interstate, which we have a lot of here.

so you increase congestion by taking up two usable lanes when both lanes should be used?

I understand doing that if assholes are trying to pass in the shoulder or an incomplete lane, but what you're doing is way more illegal than what they're doing.

Ever notice how these people seem to take an eternity to execute and complete their turn? They just sort of ease into the driveway like they're carrying a house of cards or something.

If you have already hit your brakes, don't bother with the turn signal.

I do feel a little bad about it, but the joy of getting in front of all of you saps overwhelms the guilt by a large margin.

Also, it is actually more efficient to use both lanes as long as possible.

I said once the dashed lanes end. Past the merge point. Really there is just one spot where it's bad, and by shifting to the right you get cars to actually merge into open spots, rather than line up on the shoulder and try to get in.
As soon as the dashed stripes end, I center myself in the lane, rather than keep right. Maybe that explains it better. I need a diagram.
No I don't ride over two lanes. But I try to keep people from using the shoulder.

Yeah, people who keep their blinkers on that long are annoying but they're much better than last second blinker guys.

Yeah no shite. At that stage, what's the fricking point? You've already almost caused an accident.

I like the ones who whip in front of you at the last minute and then put on the blinker after you've slammed on your brakes.

Or how about the dyslexic blinkers? They put the right signal on when they're turning left.

How am in up posed to cut in front of you if I give it away with my blinker on the whole time? The blinker at the end is a courtesy to let you know that you got pwnd.

I have to do this. Too many assholes in traffic who won't let you in when it really doesn't impede them at all. So you wait until they check their texts, put it on quickly and swoop in there. You leave the blinker on and they'll freeze you out.
