zipper merge bitches
ZIPPAAAAR MEEEEERGE
That’s not why your hand is bleeding.
If you’re speeding up to deliberately not let people in, you’re part of the problem. And looking over and miming “sorry” after you’re the fifth car to not let me over into the right lane on the Morrison bridge when we’re all going five miles an hour does not absolve you of being an ass. TL;DR: zipper merge.
Cooperation is always preferable to competition, but especially when driving.
ZIPP… oh. You guys got here first.
Anyway!

And you let me in every time I use the “Boston Turn Signal”.
How hard is it to not be a dick while driving? Very hard, apparently.
FYI: complaining about driving, telling people to “zipper merge” etc. is a great way to out yourself as a Californian.
Ok there big boy. I think you’ve had a few too many bacon maple voodoo doughnuts for breakfast.

When the zipper merge works: when everyone utilizes it, while going reasonable speed and providing ample space between cars.
When the zipper merge does not work: when it’s one asshole that sees a long line of bumper-to-bumper cars not moving and decides he doesn’t want to wait, so he speeds ahead and forces a hundred cars behind him to slam on their brakes. By the way, that’s every traffic jam you’ve ever been in.
One guy trying to “zipper merge” is about as useful as one asshole not tipping in protest of unfair restaurant wages.
And this is why I ride my bike.
