So you're stuck with a bunch of cars trying to get out of the closed lane right at the last minute, bunching up the flow of traffic behind them. Why oh why? Needless to say, I don't let them in. -_-

But I've seen it and I practice it, if I see someone honestly trying to get in, using blinker and junk, they get in. Just wish more people would use their head.
that happened last time i was in illinois, and no later than seeing the sign the trucker in front of me moved over to hog both lanes and cut people off from scooting on down to merge (this was in stop and go traffic, so its not like its not safe, but it was smart thinking of the trucker). Boy, were the people trying to use that lane PISSED
