What annoys me is when people who are in the right lane slow down to below the speed limit when there’s an exit coming up and thereby clogging traffic. It’s as if they think they will miss the exit, but there’s little chance of that unless they are effectively asleep.

It does happen, though, I have seen people on the right shoulder driving in reverse trying to back up to a missed exit.

Worse is drivers in the slow lane who jam on brakes to allow others entering the roadway to merge in.

= = =

A slight variation is driving in the right lane, and there is an incoming merge lane from the right.

And that driver does not speed up to pass, or slow down to blend.

I try to stay constant, to be predictable for him.

But he matches my speed as the lines merge into one.

So do I hit my brakes (he may be slowing, too), or punch it to try to pull ahead.

That makes me want to stay in the left lane.

Even though I thought all the mergers from the right were supposed to Yeild.
