I swear, the universe is itching to get me into an accident. In less than twelve hours, I've nearly ended up embedded in a van... twice

Same goes for people merging onto the 85. Newsflash: crawling to the end of an on-ramp will not make room for you magically appear when you decide to just fall into a lane. That's even less likely if you decide to just keep going across into the second lane, right into my car. Moron.
What kills me is that you don't see this elsewhere. In Europe people drive like maniacs, but you don't see the accidents that you do here. It's really annoying.
Something similar happened to me on Wed. I was coming out of a total white out on hwy 6 where it crosses Claire Rd and a transport truck decided to pull out to turn right onto the highway about 100m ahead of me. Nice.
I actually saw someone in the break down lane on Hwy 8 yesterday (the stretch right before the off ramp near fairview mall where everyone waits till the last minute to merge). It would appear that no one would let this person merge at the last minute and was forced to stop in the break down lane. That third lane really needs to continue straight to the off ramp.
Yeah... that whole stretch of Highway 8 is a mess, and it's going to be for years. I definitely agree with you on that third lane. Given that so many people are getting off at that exit anyways, why not just extend it to the ramp. Sigh... You know, sometimes I think that the people who design these things don't actually drive them.
