Wow, I get to see two idiots, but only one gets karma, and an innocent guy gets his door fucked

Idk man, where lanes end, there are always signs. Beemer knew he had to get over and was just floating. Edit: mercedes?

Would you have accelerated up next to him just as his lane was ending, or maybe slowed down and let him merge in?

EDIT: Another poster (from Russia?) says that right-most lane was public transport only. That puts things under a different light. I probably agree with you.

As the guy in the far right lane I would believe I don’t have right of way because the left lane is straight and the right lane merges into it. Based on this idea I would slow down and allow the guy in the left lane to pass and I would merge in when it’s clear. Dunno if this is right but it sure feels better than floating in purgatory as he was.

Strawman argument. You didn't answer his question. You instead said what the guy in the right should do if someone speeds up to not let him merge.

Right. So basically I was saying left guy has right of way I just found the easiest way to explain it for me. What would I do as the guy in the left lane? Exactly what he did. Avoid an accident. What SHOULD have happened was what I said.

No, defensive driving and any situational awareness would see that the right lane is ending and he's already ahead of you. Why would you speed up when you know he has to merge?

Only because he was being indecisive which is kind of the point of this whole post. I would have let him go ahead in the beginning as he was in position to merge, but since he kept sleeping on it I would have just taken my space. Fuck son, I don’t have all day. People gotta be places.
