Yep. I never understand people who will waste a bunch of time trying to get close. I occasionally make one pass near the front, but most of the time, I don't even bother with that. The walk across the parking lot is not that big of a deal.

I only do it when it might rain. Which in Florida is nearly always. But still one pass and I give up.
What do you think about when people do that in a construction zone? Technically the lanes don't merge until the end.
You'd think everyone would recognize that traffic impacts everyone, and try to make a reasonable zipper merge, but at least in DC, everyone is actively trying to 'be first', and it just turns into a stop and go nightmare.
There's a intersection around here where that happens ALL the time. Actually, there's a lot, but this one is particularly bad:

Going east on Ives Dairy, turning south onto Biscayne, there are two turning lanes. One that is go all the time on the right, then merges, and one that is go only on green (no turn on red), which is the middle lane leading up. The go all the time right lane has a concrete curb that starts about 100ft from the intersection. The line for this lane routinely backs up through the previous intersection all the way back to the one before that (if you zoom out). People always try to jump in right after the near intersection, just before the curb, which holds everyone up even though you're supposed to be able to go and turn without stopping. All this even though you can still turn right from the middle lane, you just have to wait for the light.

Another road rage murder

I am awaiting the verdict in the case of a taxi driver who was accused of careless driving as a result of my complaint to the Police.
