Merging is different than changing lane or turning. In some states, you may have to give the right of way even if you do not change lane yourself. But I agree it was bad wording on my part. My point was about those drivers who just leave their signal on for 2000 ft and expect that it gives them the right of way over the other vehicles in the lane they want to move -- and usually get angry when they do not.
