I'm curious, how many of you know what zipper merging is and how many of you do it?
There are 7 states where it's law, so clearly some people know how. Michigan people would rather block traffic than help it move faster. I didn't encounter it until I moved to NC, but then when I did, I wondered why this isn't just how it's taught in drivers ed. It just makes do much sense.
Yeah I have no idea what is going on with this. On the way back from spring break this year just south of Louisville coming back north I witnessed an embarrassing scene. The left lane was closing for construction and sign indicated it was two miles ahead. Already a ton of back up happening. As I’m coming up in the left lane sure enough someone in a suburban aggressively blocking left lane…and the cars behind are pissed. I knew even before I saw the plate it was going to be a good ole Michigander…and sure enough it was. Not even in Michigan blocking locals from where they want to go on a Saturday afternoon. I took 2 or 3 lanes the worked all the way back to get back into the left lane…but few were and it was causing a gigantic backup.
