So I’m driving Down I40. They are doing construction and have the two lanes merging into one. Trucks are stopping people from using the full two lanes about 2 miles prior to the construction. They set their speed to match the trucks in the right lane. I desperately wanted to get off the highway and stop at a rest area for a relief. But I was crawling along being held up.

Is there a law that if two lanes merge to 1. That you start merging 2 miles prior?
Shouldn’t we use the all the usable real estate first?

I don’t remember reading that in the driving handbook. Arggggggg
