   There's a section of the motorway I regularly drive which has three   
   lanes, the "slow" lane of which has an off-ramp and also continues a   
   bit further before merging into the second lane. During busy peak times   
   all the lanes are moving slowly, but the cars in the "slow" lane almost   
   all use the off-ramp, so the selfish morons in the second lane then   
   swap to the empty section of "slow" lane to zoom ahead passing on the   
   "wrong" side to then try to push in again where it merges ... simply   
   adding to the congestion problems.   
      
   The fools in charge of the motorway are now planning (in fact started   
   work on it recently) to extend the three lanes further along the   
   motorway, which will simply push the problem further along rather than   
   actually solve anything.
