Assuming they can do so at a speed which allows them to merge seamlessly into traffic then all the power to them. Its when they do so in a manner that causes traffic to slow down that there is a problem.

I disagree. I do it because it encourages proper flow/less braking. When everyone gets into their lane miles and miles ahead, it causes backups and jams.

So I got lots of notice the lane is ending? You still think its better we all move over miles early and cause a massive back-up in the right lane? Regardless of construction, accident, or road design, it simply makes more sense to carry on to the end of the lane and then take turns car for car.

or the accident ones when you can see whats coming yet there are always those people (mostly who drive trucks) who think they are somehow superior to the rest of us.
If you think people who drive trucks are superior, I guess that means people who drive cars are inferior? Have fun with that complex there...
