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.

The people that are merging early ARE DOING IT RIGHT by merging before they have to STOP because their lane ENDED.


The people I am talking about not doing it right are the ones that clearly see where everyone else has chosen to merge and they choose to drive around the merge point (sometimes on the shoulder) and wedge themselves in at the VERY end, where they are force to STOP and wait for someone to let them in.


That is opposed to merging early so that you do not have to stop.
