How long does this uncomfortable period last? The next through driver will stop behind you, and he will slow down first, right?
During a typical uncomfortable period, how many from-behind zoomers cut over into the RTOL?

What if a car was where you are? Two cars? At some point, the ability to cut over into the RTOL would be blocked off, right?

Can you move back and center, say, in order to cause such a block yourself? That would cause even the right-turners to have to slow down, no?
