3+ pages because someone will inevitably come in and brag about how they don't let people in who "try to jump the line" by zipper merging

We approach the right lane closure, I am in the left, and have been for some time and I’m supposed to just let the people over who purposefully ignored the sign. frick all that.

Yes

"It takes two to make a thing go right"

Everyone who champions this is an a-hole. Yea, you may be right in theory, but you’re just being an a-hole by passing everyone and cutting in at the last minute. Continue though.

These post, while technically correct, are always stupid. It assumes your average driver is both competent and rational, and most are neither. Socialism would work to if everyone "followed the rules". But were selfish creatures and we dont. Zipper is the way, but we'll never make it work on any consistent basis.

Yes, because you and those like you are the reason the right lane moves faster. If everyone would use the zipper merge correctly, both lanes should move at the same pace.

I bet you don't know how to use a roundabout correctly either.

I can assure you that 90% of the people that I see driving up to a few feet in front of the barrier before forcing their way over aren't thinking "well if I recall the zipper merge technique, this is the best way to handle this situation as efficiently as possible". Most of the time it's some billy bubba badass in an F850 that will drive on the shoulder if he has to because he can't be burdened for any wait at all, or it's a female minority who doesn't know how to drive for shite to begin with and is equally uninterested in being delayed any minute.

Most people in society these days are idiots. I mean look around you at any point while you're out in public. Dumbfricks everywhere. So I think you give WAY too much credit to people going breakneck like it's turn 4 at talledega until the very last possible millisecond before forcing their way into the left where all of us have been for a while since we saw the sign that said "LANE CLOSED AHEAD, MERGE LEFT"
