I-40 Merge near Chapel Hill

I am AMAZED at the shennanigans people go through to merge from three lanes down to twO on I-40, a couple of miles west of 15-501 at Chapel Hill, especially those who find themselves in the far left lane that will soon be ending. Rather than staying in that narrowing lane and going nearly all the way up to the merge point, then feeding smoothly into traffic(with cars from the left lane and the narrowing lane taking turns), many drivers slow down to a crawl or stop in the the narrowing lane, put on their right blinker and try to get over to to the right A HALF MILE OR MORE before the lane ends! This stops traffic behind them, creates snarls as other drivers stop to let them in and blocks a half mile or more of perfectly good merge lane. AND - apparently many drivers think those who use the full length of the merge lane are trying to gain an unfair advantage and won't let them into traffic at the merge point. People, this isn't difficult. If everyone will just stay where they are instead of panicking as they approach the merge area, use a little consideration, courtesy and common sense, it all goes very smoothly as cars ALTERNATELY merge into one lane.

Uggg. I hate that about this state. People, please use the entire road. It's not being greedy. It's just logical to use all the road you have.
