well look at that i agree with you about something
people think they have to win all the time. just merge as soon as you can after seeing what's going on and we'll all f--king get through faster
Happens everywhere. The only solution to this problem is for people to stop letting those people in the lane that they were told a mile ago (then 3/4 mile ago, then 1/2 mile ago, etc.) that the lane was closed in on an alternating basis once the lane is actually closed off. But people are too non-confrontational or dumb for that.
Until then, if you're in a rush, best to stay in the closed lane. Too many times to count I've done the right thing only to hate myself as everyone goes by at 4x speed in the closed lane.
