Meanwhile slowing everyone in the middle lane down and, for some reason unbeknownst to me, also slows down the left lane.
Generally when this is happening, they are jabbering away on the flippin' cellphones. Pi***s me off royally.

primary cause of all the traffic in Atlanta! the people merging at last minute.
Heading down GA 400 its 4 lanes at I-285.
People in the far left lane only change to the far right lane about 100 yards or something from when the exit is.
Causes everyone to slow down.. and brakes are a compounding affect.
If person A Brakes for 2 seconds, more than likely person B behind them will brake for a little longer. And then Person C etc.
Accelerating is the same thing then after they make you slow down.
Person A takes off, Person B takes off like .3 seconds after he sees person A go. Person C a lil later etc.
When you do this with ALOOOOOT of damn cars and also then people not otherwise paying attention = traffic.
