@memeticsisyphus What a specious example to make an incorrect point. I bet you also run Yield signs when someone is driving just a bit behind you in other lane because of some unrelated comparison to ordering fresh fish at the grocery meat counter or somesuch.
So frustrating. Sometimes I’m able to be successful smart one on road…others I have to deal with A) angry straddle the line to keep me from passing mook or B) I’m-not-letting-you-in dick. Wish I could flash “Google zipper merge” just as I always want to flash “Google Yield sign”
People who don't understand zipper merging should have all their plumbing replaced with plastic straws.
I've never understood why "We all line up and go really slow and leave an empty lane open for miles" is Decent Citizen™ RW coded and "Drive normally in as many lanes as are available" is LW "redditbrain" coded. Perhaps it satisfies some unsated desire for duty and sacrifice.
I also think people are thrown off by the term "zipper merge" like it is some kind of carefully orchestrated ballet that requires masterful execution and could only work in an ideal world. It's not. It's just normal driving.
What is a two-, three-, or four-lane highway but a "zipper merge" that either hasn't zippered yet, or is always zippering and unzippering? In fact, normal highway driving is infinitely more complicated than a zipper merge.
Yet I have to get in line with the rest of the lemmings because if I try to drive normally and rationally, some Road Justice Defender will put the life of my family in danger to keep the empty lane pure and undefiled.
