Naw man...that dude's a dick



i agree zipper merging works but I try to pick the same point everyone else is using to merge to keep consistency

unless they are merging on the solid white. then I pass them and merge later.

I almost got into a wreck once because a lane was ending and I pulled into said lane to cut off others from driving to the front. Idiot that was originally behind me pulled up beside me and I almost hit them when I tried to merge back over

Not only was Bob a piece of shite, he continued to act like a piece of shite when he got called out for it

I was several cars back, and if I had done it, I would have had to pull completely out of the left lane in order to block Bob. I might have lost my spot. John was up by where the right hand lane ended and the road was narrow enough so he just had to pull halfway out of his lane and blocked the shoulder.

He was cussin', but his biggest gripe was that John almost caused them to have a wreck.

Was Bob attempting to perform a highway department approved zipper merge, or was he being a selfish prick and trying to illegally use the shoulder to pass?

If John is out his lane then he's in the wrong. Bob is a dick but if he had a full lane to merge from then he has the right to ride it to the end .

I mean the guy got out of the merged lane to cut everyone in front of him. I don't give a shite about the zipper at that point. He's a fricktard.

Do some of you people even read the OP? Bob got out of the merged lane to cut in front of people. He had already merged.

I wouldn't have gotten out of my car.....but I'm in Texas.....Oregon is full of peace lovers.....The other thing is everything I read says studies have shown doing what Bob did is the most efficient use of lanes.....but that assumes everyone takes turns letting each other in.

That zipper shite doesn't work when you have traffic going 60, and some asshat has a panic attack and completely stops on the entrance ramp

YES.

I think every single driver should have to go to the DMV to renew their license and be taught the Zipper Merge and the left lane for passing only rule.

You teach just those two things to everyone and traffic will improve.


Ugh. It drives me crazy that people don't understand they are supposed to keep using BOTH lanes until the actual merge point, then merge 1 car after the other. I swear it's a Louisiana thing as it seems no one knows the proper method there.
