There’s always an a-hole who wants to save a whopping .2 seconds on their trip by not letting you merge

Which then jams up the right lane, causing the right lane to backup and come to a stop. People on the right start jumping into traffic which then causes the left lane to come to a stop. And now we're all backed up making the traffic 10 times worse.

People who prematurely line up in the open lane are the same people who drive with hazards on in the rain.

This.

When you see the sign, “Right Lane Closed 1 Mile” fricking move your arse over to the left lane as soon as possible. Don’t fricking stay in the right lane so you can go to the front of the line and try to cut in front of everyone. frick you.

A reminder that I am not going to be the only one doing that shite and my zipper hole being the whore of the interstate letting everyone in.

So everyone should willingly sit in a mile long line for...reasons? With an open lane next to them?

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.
frick you. Take 100 highly trained drivers and give them a zipper merge scenario and they could barely make it work without a major slowdown in traffic.

Now apply that same scenario to 100 of the average retards on the highway. IT DOESN’T frickING WORK!

This is a typical example of theory versus reality.

What????? Next thing you will want is for people to use blinkers. If you don't let someone in you can get home 0.25 Seconds early

The only reason there’s a mile long line is zipper assholes making a choke point.

That’s the truth.

Think about how fast the left lane would go if they didn’t let anyone from the right lane in. I’m a left lane kind of guy.

If you're merging a mile early, you're an idiot.
Oh frick you.

If everyone merged into the open lane early, there would be minimal slowing of traffic.

It’s assholes like you that drive in the closed lane until the end and then have to cut people off so you can merge. DIAF.

Post your face when you realize what you described is just moving the merge (conflict point) to the "lane closed 1 mile ahead" sign instead of the barricade

No dumbass, you simply change lanes and keep trucking. In normal traffic, it’s not difficult to go from the right lane to the left lane without slowing down. Especially if you have a mile or more to do it.

Correct. The people moving forward in the open lane are trying to reduce traffic. The fricktards slowing down and merging early and the fricktards closing the gap so people don’t “cut” are causing all the problems.
You must be one of the retards that believes Socialism works and just hasn’t been correctly implemented. Dumbass.
