I hope you realize how dumb that is. Use the full capacity of the roadway. You don't have to be a mindless sheep. If everyone piles into one lane for no reason, it can back up and disrupt other intersections, entry/exit points, etc. and cause even more problems.

Apostrophes indicate contractions or the possessive form, not the plural form. Just an FYI.

Good on you Jim Rockford. If I have to wait a while you're gonna wait too. Where some people see efficiency, some see a shortcut.

Congrats on making the traffic back up farther than it would if you weren't a d-bag.

I haven't written a Facebook post in over two years. What are you, old?

How much farther back would they have needed to start merging for you to let them in?


When the traffic was still flowing at a normal speed and there was signage indicating a lane closure ahead. If traffic is crawling in the left lane and you gun it in the right lane expecting to cut in at the head of the line, you're going to wait a while if I have anything to do with it.

And when the traffic backs up past that thanks to d-bags like yourself?

So you make poor driving decisions, get mad about making poor driving decisions, and then take it out on the people that actually know how to drive?

Yeah, you drive like an a-hole. I bet you go 72 in the passing lane too.

What a piss-poor way to view driving.

Out of principal, if I find myself in the lane that needs to let in vehicles, I won't let anyone in until we get to the merge point. They think I'm being a dick 3/4 of a mile out, but I'm just trying to teach them good habits.

if only everyone were not complete idiots, the zipper merge would work

except in the real world it doesn't because you have too many people letting more than one person in at a time or you have too many people trying to cut in with another car and this all causes the traffic to back up

So what is the solution? If everyone is going to screw it up anyway, I'm definitely driving down to the end of the lane if I can.

About the only thing I avoid is cutting into the merging lane just to make up ground on a few cars. If I'm already in the lane, I just sit there pissed off at my dumbassery.

zipper merge works in every other damn country I've been to. But the instinct kicks in here that someone is 'cheating' the queue like it's a damn grocery store. Zipper merge people, it's awesome when done right! bring on the downvotes

edit: speed of traffic has something to do with it since some people are incapable of merging at high speeds. stop and go traffic? use the full lanes baw
