Only two, then people who maintain their lane are there and there is space.

This perfectly illustrates this broken mental model that leads to endless frustration.
Unless you put the car in reverse, you are still making forward progress. If someone merges in front of you at 30mph then you traveled hundreds of feet towards your destination in the time it took them to do that. Chill out.
