re: Why do people think they can block a free lane of traffic because they need to merge over?

The OP specifically stated this person is trying to merge into a line that isn't moving, so it doesn't apply here. If you simply can't zipper in then yes you have to keep moving forward.

But yes, the zipper merge is the correct method. It must suck to be a sheep and mindlessly get into a lane before you have to.
