Fact is in many many cases traffic would go faster if everyone used both lanes to turn right and merged only right before the turn.

I can't stand sheep who just follow what everyone else is doing and stay in line. I can't stand mid-west drivers. Israeli's and NY'ers are so much better :)
LOVE IT!

Not the same as what was discussed there IIRC. this is discussing two lanes merging. There the argument was using a non-turning lane to cut the line of cars turning.

The logic is the same still. One may make you more of a jerk, but both increase the flow of traffic.

The article is a joke. The same as red light cameras stop accidents.
The article talks about a funnel as an example. I guess the guy skipped science class.  :)
I just found a new supply of forks!
