When those people decide they don't want to wait in line like the civilized people, I will block them and make them wait until all the people they chose to "blow right past" get by first.

The proper civilized technique when a lane ends and traffic is slow, is to create a single merging point at the end of the lane, and alternate there. You are not supposed to merge beyond the end by driving on shoulder, but you are not supposed to merge well not before the end either.


People who merge early are not doing it right. People from the through lane who block the merge lane are jerks and aggressive drivers. I hope that you are not a jerk, and that you only did not explain clearly what you meant.
