#5 - Zipper merge. In order for a zipper merger to work you all need to merge at

the same place. How else can you all merge at the same place unless you all drive to the point where the merging lane ends. I almost always drive past a lot of people in order to merge "at the last minute" (there is a whole lot of unused lane ahead). My hope is that others behind me will do the same and the zipper merge will work going forward.

Not true. I have no kids, a decent amount of money, and am a terrible person.

Conversely, if you are poor and have lots of kids, are you doomed?

Huh? That's not merging then. That's forcing your way into a lane.

6/10/19 4:49pm

I'm guessing you are referring to situations where someone doesn't want to wait
