re: Are you Car A or Car B in this scenario?

I encounter a less drastic version of this every morning on Beltway 8 and the toll booths. If I’m on time, I’m a respectable citizen and get in line with the rest of the morning commuters. If I’m late and depending on the severity, I’ll cut those son of a bitches off at the last second to squeak in there.

That’s my honest answer.

Car A is causing more traffic in this situation.

The reason the right lane isn’t moving is bc you dumbasses got into the right lane too early. If all vehicles continued to use both lanes until the point the zipper merge is needed, you wouldnt be sitting still in the right lane. At the point of merge, each lane takes turns letting one car go so both lanes move at the same pace, one lane isn’t overloaded at a standstill and all driveable lanes are utilized to move traffic.

The law states that you're supposed to stay in the right lane except when passing.

What if it's the right lane that's closed?

I thunk you're struggling mightily with the term "literally" because they are literally 2 different things.

The 2nd one is just what the emotional wreck tells themselves because they don't understand merging

That doesn't make sense, unless you think the person trying to cut in understands the zipper which, as a result, goes back to my point... That doesn't make sense.

I saw it was going to shite and read the damn sign a mike back and got over. If everyone did we would barely slow down

The absolute opposite of the correct answer. You should probably get over 6 miles before the merge point to be the better driver. Idiot.

You can zipper merge all you want……behind my arse

Zipper merging DOES NOT work when there is construction and lanes are funneled to one lane

The people that drive to the front are selfish and entitled

For driving in an open lane?

The one issue with the zipper merge is that car As are Assholes and often aggressively block you from merging safely at the correct merge point. Their bad behavior kind of beats me into submission into joining them as an A.
