I'm more than happy to let someone merge if they do so back there, but I've put many (including this morning) up on the sidewalk when they blow by everybody in the left lane and get to the point of no return.

I pray for the day someone eventually sideswipes me. So far after all these years the only impact has been one dude who despite the long line of cars with brake lights lit because they were stopped ran smack dab into the back of the Jeep I had because he hauled ass down the right hand lane and realized too late it ended. Didn't even scratch my rock crawler bumper, peeled back his hood like it was a can opener and the receiver hitch destroyed the nose and radiator. Couple thousand dollars worth of damage to his car and a ticket from the popo served him right, especially since the Trooper that had to come work the wreck due to my reserve officer status was pissed he was working an in-town wreck. No breaks were cut that day.

Man, don't get me started on those jokers. Especially if they're already in the correct lane, then move into the lane that's ending so they can cut in front of 3 more cars and make them hit the brakes so he can get back in.
