Consider the following:
I am driving my suburban pulling my car hauler (total length ~50 feet).
At 50 feet before the end of my merge lane, I signal and begin merging over into the "merged" lane.
However there is still 50 feet in front of me before the barrier.
Using your logic, it is perfectly acceptable for a smaller car to go around me on the right and try to get in in front of me?
Sure.... that makes sense....
