Cutting across -- must you?

When I take the exit off the highway to get home, there are two left turn lanes.

The LEFT-left lane and the left-right lane.

Got it so far?

How many times have people in the LEFT-left lane decided after we've made the left turn that they need to get into the RIGHT lane?

Yes. The Mickey D's is pretty much the first driveway after we get onto the road. But do you HAVE to cut people off so that you can get your Big Mac? There IS another right turn at the end of the block where you can take the loop around back to Mickey D's. Is that risk of taking off a bumper WORTH those skinny oily french fires?

How many times have people in the left-right lane decided that NEED to get into the LEFT lane?

Yes. I do know that the Wally Mart is that first left turn lane. But do you HAVE to cut people off in your desperation to get those Low Prices? There is another left turn about another half block up. It takes you to the SAME parking lot. And it's a whole heck of a lot safer for you and all the drivers around you.

It's just frustrating when people don't consider the drivers around them. If you don't know where you're going then get out of the way. Drive the long way around. PLEASE!
