That, and the Michigan left turn (make a right, speed up, merge lanes, brake and pull off, make a left across two lanes into traffic already at speed or squat in the fast lane).
They got rid of the damn things decades ago for these very reasons. They are the cause of more accidents and don't calm traffic but tend to back it up at higher than average load.
