I always get in the correct lane as soon as I can, but I was once talking to a transportation engineer (whatever the name is for people who study traffic flow problems and actually design highways) and he claimed that for the fastest traffic flow, you actually wanted cars moving at an even pace in both lanes and merging as close to the merge point as possible. Of course, this implies cooperation and attention on the part of all drivers and not the people in the one lane zooming ahead because they want to bull their way in first. Still, the way he explained it, it made sense in theory. David
