Traffic Notes - Blinker On, Let them In

Given that I just posted re: slow traffic keep right, this may seem like a weird post from me. This is my little stab at the rude world. If a person is active enough to turn on the blinker, they will get an entry into my lane. It does nothing for the world to let the person sit in the left lane and block all that traffic, when a little southern hospitality will go a long way to keeping the traffic moving. I see this all the time in highway merge situations and daily in the Cedar Blufff area, as people feel that they need to police the mergers. If they then add a hand wave, it is a double-bonus. So turn on your blinker and merge.
