Waiting to the last second is bad news. I know you disagree.

How is "waiting till the last second" bad news? It's how it's supposed to work. Fill both lanes until the merge point,

Yeah I know. But because people can't be counted on to play nicely, and

Zipper workers every time for me, when I get to the merge point put your nose in

Yep. In Orlando, that is the only way to merge. No one is going to let you in.

The Utah way is to merge as soon as humanly possible and leave one lane

2/13/18 10:29am

And thereby enrage everyone else. Good work.

SandYFan

If they weren't idiots they would follow the way its suppose to work

Well, they are. Sorry for the reality.

Their rage is their own creation.

2/13/18 10:34am

And it's real.

It's not the 'late' merger. It's the right merger.

Nothing worse than the early merger line stradler

Just be careful. Some wacko might pull out his Glock these days!

I've seen it happen!

2/13/18 10:56am

But it's okay because solo zipper mergers are in the right.

SandYFan

There was nothing solo about it. Everyone was zipper merging properly until

Don't let terrorists dictate your rights. Be a man, set an example and zipper.
