The problem with the early mergers is, on a busy day like Tuesday, the right lane of eastbound Memorial west of of 10th St. backs up past the exit to 14th St. southbound which now adds more cars to a single lane of traffic. So while Mr. Early-merge-and-straddle-the-lanes thinks he's being polite, he's actually causing a further back up.

Anyone who is trying to enforce "politeness" on others is by definition not being polite.
