I feel like at least this way the drivers are paying attention to everything on the road. I noticed in Indonesia, the way you turn into a road is not to wait for a big gap, but to judge if the car coming down that road towards you has enough room to semi-comfortably slow down before it would hit you (if their tyres have to screech to stop they'll honk at you), if that's the case, it means you're free to enter... it's terribly inefficient time and energy-wise because cars have to brake and accelerate all the time, and all the cutting in means traffic becomes a crawl anyway.

It is also terribly dangerous as the the accident statistics show. People are not good at paying attention continuously, so we need to make rules and infrastructure that minimize the bad effects of inattention.
