The potential for that kind of scenario makes me appreciate it when a trucker or two begins to straddle two lanes, making it real hard for the guys who want to race up to the very last inch before merging into the only open lane.
Had a trucker do that on I-40 east of Kingman earlier this year and I loved it! As long as the chuckleheads could pass after the lane closed warning signs they would. As car after car blasted by us and jammed into our lane traffic back up for miles. Once the trucker straddled the two lanes it ended the problem completely and made for safer conditions for everyone.
A couple of miles later as the lane reopened the trucker passed, I tooted my horn and gave him a big thumbs up.
