Why would I be? Where is the sense in leaving a lane empty instead of using all the available space and merging in turn when the lane actually closes?
It's called pushing in ! It's not a welcome invitation to infuriate other road users and make their journey longer. Just saying
And that is the problem - it isn't pushing in. It is merely merging later, with the benefit of reducing the length of the tailback by the length of the queue of single file traffic to the actual lane closure. Here is a pretty picture of how others do it:
If you take all the vehicles in the right hand lane and put them behind those on the left, you will see why moving over too early actually has a worse effect.
