Maybe it's just me and isolated instances, but whenever I've been driving or riding in a car in the mid-West and you come upon a lane ending due to construction or just narrowing the highway drivers seem to fall into line as soon as they see the first sign advising them to do so. Traffic barely slows and everything flows smoothly.

On the East coast it's a race in the left lane to beat everyone to the cut-off, they fly by each other in the lane that's getting merged down only to cut over at the last possible second, slowing and stopping traffic and generally f'in everything up. Every now and then I get the "enforcer" urge when I'm by myself and usually when I'm driving a truck, to straddle two lanes just to drive the offenders apoplectic.

Oh thats great fun. My dad does it all the time when driving the dump truck. I hate the people who drive in the break down lanes, so I make a habit of taking up half the lane if I am on the right. Pisses them off!

Between checking posts on here , I am preparing for a lengthy pretrial conference scheduled for tomorrow involving a guy ('Nam vet F4 pilot) who got hit from behind while riding a motorcycle in the RH turn lane, by some jackass in a hooptie with 24"s on it that was driving to get to the RH turn lane via the breakdown lane. The guy didn't even turn his stereo down until the cops arrived.

Good I hope you guys win and ream him.
