Are you Car A or Car B in this scenario?

So, I did my fair share of traveling this past week. From Fort Wayne to Fayetteville for the Ark/Aubie game, and Fort Wayne to Philly for a funeral. All along the way, I encounter road construction on I-69, I-70, I-44, I-49, and both OH/PA Turnpikes. It even rained in most areas.

While my drive on the PA Turnpike, some areas had lane merges that shifted to one lane due to construction. On I-70, there was a wreck that shifted everyone to one lane. So, I've seen it move to a slow crawl to pass these areas to driving 60-80 mph to pass.

Everytime, there were bitches that waited until the very last second, literally 100 ft in front of the cones before shifting. Below is a simple diagram of what I mean.

I'll never let a line jumper in

Zipper for $350 please Alex?

Zipper Merge> Your stupid scenario.

Car B has it right.

I was B when I was younger. Now I block the lane so those a-holes can’t go to the front and clog traffic.

I definitely do this. Honestly though, it depends on the situation. I'd be lying if I said I never did B like when I am in a hurry. But for the most part, I am A.

If I am getting onto the interstate and merging on, I'm more likely to do B. I just choose to merge late. But it does piss me off when people already on the interstate get out of line and into the merge lane, and then pull a B. It's different when you are first entering than exiting and getting back in to skip some of the line. I don't know if that makes sense or not..

The things some of you let stick in your head are unbelievable.

I might think someone was an arse for pulling in front of me at that moment, but I'm not thinking about it 5 minutes later, and I'm sure as shite not starting a thread about it Monday and calling the guy's mother a whore.

think of it as a public service annoucement. if someone here is car B, then maybe they'll think twice about it.

No, they just think you're an idiot because they are driving correctly.

I guess both at times. I just try to find an opening when I realize the lanes are merging. Sometimes that's early enough to be A, sometimes too late and the good lane is stacked, so I do B. I just try not to be aggressive in either situation.

If they wanted you to merge where car A was getting in line, the cones would be back by car A….

B is doing it the right way. Go all the way up and zipper merge. Car A causes traffic to move slower by merging too early
