So if a line in airport or amusement park extends pass the line barriers or whatever theyre called you can just cut in there? Honestly what do you think everybody else is doing waiting
And if there's a line in front of a bathroom,  and there is a second bathroom which no is using, you wont use it either?

It was actually a great point!

All to often there is a 2 lane exit ramp and cars are lined up in the rightmost lane for a mile not realizing that there should be 2 (shorter) lines). I coast along the 2nd lane, never cut anyone off, drive down my personal ramp lane and laugh all  the way to the bank.

Something can be a great point and still be unrelated to the argument
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

But that's not the scenario we're talking about. We're talking about when there's only one turning or exit lane.

It's very related. Sometimes you walk into the bathroom and see a long line......everyone thinks there's no toilets available when in reality there's just no STALLS avail and just around the bend there are 20 unused urinals. Half the people on line just want a urinal to but they are too afraid to step out of line to check and assume that if so many people are waiting there MUST not be anything avail. #herdmentality

The smart ones walk around the bend, see the 20 urinals, use 1, wash their hands and leave.

Exactly! And it tastes even better when cruising in your personal VIP lane to the exit!

You drink snapple while standing at your own VIP urinal?

Too many metaphors in this thread.

Please elaborate. How long should they be allowed to drive in their current lane before having to switch out into the traffic lane???

And you block rightful cars from going as well?

That picture stands for people staying in a line when there are other options, I'm with MarkS here and others.

That one line of traffic can cause backup on the highway really far back for all traffic, but if everyone used both lanes sure people going straight would be slowed down but the general traffic on the highway which is much more important than one exit will run faster. I see this all the time.

It's been said many times as soon as everyone else is on a line you dont cut it.

Right because of herd mentality, the smart, innovative, go getters will try and find another solution that has the most benefit for the most people.

What if there's 10  cars behind you stuck on the exit ramp because you insist on joining the traffic at the first possible chance?

Stop thinking about how to solve problems and do what everyone else does. Jeez it's like you think you have a brain to use.

How are you solving problems? The people merging in later make it worse not better
