Merging

[meep]

On my commute right now I have this rare period in my life that 19 out of 20 cars will zipper merge in the first 1/3 of the merge area. This is very kind when that same lane is both an on/off, because it lets the “off” folks grab it and go. When everyone zippers it’s great. If 2 or 3 skip ahead, blood boils and people start straddling both lanes.

I wish PSAs might try announcing how it’s supposed to work. The times it’s bad is when people vehemently disagree and road rage follows.

So we have lots of construction in my area. Nobody knows how to merge a d everyone gets in one lane. I have a trailer behind me so naturally, nobody ever wants to let yoy over and you basically have to force your way over for anyone to let you over. Guess I might as well just be that guy that goes all the way to the front then gets over since nobody let's you in anyways. Today I forced myself over and two cars that didn't want to let me in literally swerved around me and still got in front. They'll wreck their cars to not get behind I trailer I guess. Not sure who's fault that would be though. Probably the people trying to go around me. I hate to drive lime that, but people have no respect anymore on the road

It seems that you or your associates are the reason I felt the need to install Hella Super Tones on my DD after nearly getting run off the road by two different landscape guys with their trailers who were trying to merge at the last second.
