Just Move Over & Let Cars Merge Please

Just an observation on my part, but there is a serious lack of courtesy on I90 lately. It took me 1 1/2 hours to get downtown this morning from Newman Lake. Not because there were a lot of accidents (I only saw one slide-off), but because people are not letting others merge. There are basically two lanes now. People getting on the freeway need to merge into the right lane, but people already in that lane are doing anything but moving over to let them in. It was a huge cluster as speeds slowed to a crawl near every on-ramp between Liberty Lake and downtown. And the on-ramps were backed up and at a dead stop. Come on people, have some courtesy!
