The Non-Mergers

Sometimes lanes end and everyone on the ending lanes must merge into an adjacent lane (or crash, but no one takes that option). Some people are so bad at this that they almost cause accidents. Others are just bullies during slow traffic and try to squeeze even though it's not their turn.

I don't know if there is a law for that, but it's pretty common sense that when lanes are merging and traffic is slow, one car from each lane should proceed at a time (car from lane A, then from lane B, then lane A, and so on). Some people don't even have this common sense and they think that if they push hard enough they'll fit in.

Usually, their thinking is wrong. Sometimes it's even dangerous. Bumper to bumper accidents happen because of these people, and insurance companies have huge bureaucratic expenses because of that.

People need to develop some patience for others. Some patience in general won't hurt either.
