This certainly can't be about 2 lanes of traffic that merge at a specified point. Nobody would be so down-to-the-bone stupid as to suggest that both lanes shouldn't be used until the merge is required.

And yet I frequently encounter truck drivers blocking off the closing lane as far as a mile from the bottleneck. Why do they do this? They're not trying to merge, they're trying to force others to merge sooner than need be.

One would think not. But truckers do it all the time.
You'd think not, but apparently they are that stupid.
