Perhaps you and Babytac should get together and compare notes before you decide to start a bad thread.

I am the tip of the zipper. I instinctively move to the front of the line and have never had an issue getting over. If you don’t like it, suck what’s behind my zipper.

That's high IQ and exactly how it's designed. You're the DA for waiting in line!

frick that. You zipper when the lane ends. Why would I sit in a lane if I can pass 60 cars/18 wheelers to then zipper merge at the cone?

Ignorant IQ Drivers assume its a free path to pass up the line of cars sitting there for 5 minutes waiting and have AUTOMATIC right of way in front of whomever they deem necessary when it is their lane coming to an end. Your lane came to an end thus the responsibility of merging AT YOUR RISK is on YOU. Zipper merging is a suggestion, not a law or a right of way IMO. IT IS A SUGGESTION YOU DUMB frick.


I used to be like you. Then i realized it’s not a race. They’re just trying to use all the available space

I can’t remember what state I was in, but several years ago, each construction zone had signage that read “USE BOTH LANES UNTIL MERGE POINT”. Then, about 100 yards from the closed lane, another sign read “MERGE NOW”. It was brilliant, and the signage kept the portion of the population who think they need to get into the continuing lane way too early - compliant.

They have no right of way to hit you. Quit spinning the issue at hand
