Right that's dumb for sure

Oh you probably mean they merge at the merge point? As they should? Maybe find other reasons to murder people, idk.

For clarification I'm talking low speed congestion here. I don't run people off the road at speed.

Also I'm glad not to live in the US where merging can be met with murder apparently

As a truck driver, I must say that when someone goes out of their way to prevent me from changing lanes in traffic, I will often make sure to merge in front of them instead of other vehicles.
