You are not supposed to cross the solid white line when merging. Lots do, but it is illegal.

I know off topic, It was rush hour were were going about 5-10 mph I had my turn signal on, a courteous driver left me room and waived me over, so I went for it. The trooper came up from behind traveling in the emergency lane about 30 mph faster than traffic and pulled both me and the car behind me over who followed me, The on ramp we were at, the white line goes on a really really long way. I was always taught to merge early rather than wait to the last minute and was not paying attention to where the white line was. Like you said lots of others were doing it too. I know, No excuse. Like I said expensive lesson. Hopefully the judge will show compassion and reduce the fine and let me do traffic school as I have a pretty clean driving record, only one other ticket in last 17 years. Anyway I included this for the educational value of others. You hear that kids? Don't make the same mistake!
