"zipper merge is better!" is a new rallying cry of autists that get mad when a complex organizational structure that has better throughput when executed properly doesn't materialize in loving traffic jams where no one can really tell what's even going on when you are "zipper marging!!" and there aren't 50 cars behind you doing the same thing you're just being a stupid dick

wow, i just calculated it and it turns out if you graph people that don't know how to zipper merge against people that treat the passing lane as the cruising lane, the correlation coefficient is 1. very surprising results, i must say.

Zipper merging is defacto useless unless the lanes are evenly splitting or at least decently splitting instead of people forcing their way in at the last second with no one else there at the end of the lane while speeding ten miles over next to a long line of stationary vehicles like that isn't extraordinarily unsafe in and of itself. It's like blitzing down a parking lot where any of the cars could pull out at any second. Zipper merging is supposed to prevent extremely long single lane lineups which are dangerous and inefficient, but if the lineup exists and people just aren't zipper merging then you driving up to the end of the lane is just a hazard and slows poo poo down. It's like tailgating someone in the passing lane screaming "DRIVING THE LIMIT IN THE PASSING LANE IS UNSAFE." You prob shouldn't whine about the rules of the road and people doing it wrong and being unsafe and then go ahead and do dumbass poo poo yourself to compound the issue. You can't control traffic around you, either adapt or die a horrible vehicular death.

Maybe read the road and do what is appropriate based on that? I know crazy right? People merging "early"? Merge. People zipper merging? Zipper merge. Boy I'm a loving genius.

I love loving with pretend traffic cops, every time it rains kinda heavy around here it pools on a low bit. Theres always 1 idiot who tries to put the road on lockdown cause he thinls its flooded. Its non flowing water not connected to a stream, its a big flat shallow puddle, and i get some sick schaudenfreude just driving through it. Especially if hes blocked a lane or tries to run up to the car and gets splashed. Its not flooded, its not connected to a stream, its just a depression between some hills that they didnt flatten well because the road started life as a teeny road between farms probably 100 years ago. underage at the vape shop fucked around with this message at 08:07 on Nov 18, 2018 |

If you are driving much faster than the lane you are trying to merge into, you're the rear end in a top hat. You might technically be in the right, but it doesn't change the fact that you are an rear end and everyone hates you. E: also the only thing that makes my lovely commutes interesting is trying to block people who use exit only lanes to pass. CopperHound fucked around with this message at 08:55 on Nov 18, 2018 |

The only time I will block people merging late is if they've been in an exit only lane for the past mile and realize they are too loving illiterate to read any of the signs indicating as such and then try to merge across the part of the pavement where the shoulder has already started to separate the exit from the highway. gently caress you, if you're that confused about where you're going then take the exit, stop somewhere, and figure it out. And if you're doing it on purpose I would rather see you crash face first into the restarting guardrail than let you benefit from it. e: underage at the vape shop posted:Its not flooded, its not connected to a stream, its just a depression between some hills that they didnt flatten well because the road started life as a teeny road between farms probably 100 years ago. I don't know where you are, but just so you know around here sometimes it really is flooded to a couple feet even without a stream, so be careful with this in unfamiliar places.

Another type of zipper merge is when you get two dirty old men at a public urinal, and they both give each other handjobs, then one of them closes his pants zipper but accidentally gets it caught up with the other guy's zipper, so they're stuck together and have to give each other additional handjobs until someone calls emergency services to separate them.
