A lot more succinct than my post. If you'r at an amusement park and a line snakes around half the park can you say well why are they starting the line do far back let me just cut where i think it should start?

A better way to say it:
If theres two entrances, one for vip and one regular. The regular one and vip end up in one place before separating again befor showing passes. If the regular one is very long can u take the vip to the next part?
I'm not who you think I am.

By definition that's too late.
You're a real gemara kop.
I guess you're right. Once you pass one car, why not pass them all?!

Not really just felt like I hadn't seen you. I got excited.

At what point does societal norms say you need to merge into the turning lane. 1 Mile before the turn? 2 miles?

when it turns from a dashed line to a solid line

Well,  it probably causes less traffic in the lane youre merging from if you pass at the latest point as opposed to immediately after you realize.

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.
-1
very often the biggest cause of the traffic is the "merge" i.e. the bottleneck of people cutting in at the last second.

In a case of a true merge, where two (or more) lanes are merging in to one, you'd (usually) be correct.

No name this time?
Anyways ..
Agree. I used to always do it. Until someone pointed out what should've been really obvious(i guess not to new Yorkers) that everyone sense are not idiots and are following societal norms. Its essentially cutting a line in the store but since you can hide behind your car....
I'm pretty sure that I was the one who pointed this out to you.

Even if traffic is backed up and the cars are waiting when it's still dashed?

Yes.  That Because legally you can merge there,  there's no need to pile up more than that. Like JJ said above. 
I don't believe this is about society.

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
