Lessons in Life by Steve #1 - Driving: How to Merge
Welcome to the first in a series of illustrations depicting the correct behavior for various life situations. I am right and you are most likely wrong. This is how to do it. Don't be a jerk... follow my advice.
Lesson #1 - Driving: How to Merge During Highway Travel
Situation: You are driving down a highway and notice a sign indicating that two lanes will be merging into one. You are in the lane that will end. You can't yet see the location where your lane ends. You will probably attempt to immediately get into the other lane (the Early Merge) which will cause an enormous backup in the other lane and create a dangerous situation in your lane as you suddenly apply your brakes even though the road in front of you is wide open.

Holy cow --you are so right on this. I deal with this everyday. There is a counter movement of drivers (the Dark Side) who often refuse to allow those of us who want to use the to use the merging lane in its entirety. So, be careful out there.
