It annoys me to no end, the people who wait until the last minute to merge when lanes are closed for construction. I have always said that such driving is inconsiderate, dangerous, and it slows down traffic. It seems to be beoming more prevalent and some idiots even drive in the closed lane to get around vehicles who try to block them. Based on this article, science is backs up what I've said...

It also talks about how cell phones indirectly slow down traffic because of how they affect drivers while they are talking on them.
