I don't have a problem with people who are already in the soon-to-be closing lane and merge smoothly into the remaining lanes. That's what you're supposed to do. What annoys me when someone will go from one of the slow but non-ending lanes and pop into the ending lane just to zip ahead of a dozen or so cars and then expect others to let him back in line. You can wait like everyone else.
If everyone merges out of the ending lane into the other lanes well in advance then things would run smoothly too. Indeed the number of cars travelling on the road might exceed the capacity for the remaining lanes in this situation. It's gonna happen whether you merge early or be a dick about it. At least if everyone merges early, no one needs to come to a complete halt or wait before progressing in order to let an impatient driver into their lane.
It's a bit of a dilemma though. If everyone follows the non-4x4 system things will progress fine. If even a few drivers start driving like 4x4 then there's no benefit to being nice and merging early. Might as well be a free for all.
