Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I agree with RunningBum, you might have a case with a different example but not this one...
I bet there were problems with people backing up at the light and they designed a special turn lane to take care of that... and they made it LONG... to try and prevent late lane changes they put in a solid white line... makes perfect sense to me...
Also, I bet there are many people who think they can get a jump by going down the turn lane and jumping into the thru lane at the end... even with the white line..
And I bet/hope the people in the right lane say FU to the ones trying to get over late. Sorry, you are not special.
In some areas, I have seen pylons set up so the aggressors can't move past the solid line.
On a side note, travelling back from Florida I saw a sign (I think in Georgia) that said something like " if you missed your exit, don't worry, we made more ahead".
