I used to but after many times of doing this and then merging not happening at all or before I needed to exit or turn which then resulted in me having to be the person trying to move over multiple lanes of traffic at the last minute I now try and wait until I notice actual lane closure ahead of me. I also always try and let cars in when merging into my lane is necessary.mudnessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10542400857346376155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-10678854610826504502012-07-16T22:12:58.141-04:002012-07-16T22:12:58.141-04:00How about the people who leave the right lane, to ...How about the people who leave the right lane, to got to the merging lane so that they could cut ahead??? I cannot stand this, and yes, I have been know to stay very close to the car ahead of me so I won't let those people in...I know...but coming from Miami, and then Houston, you sort of learn to drive like a mad women.Kristelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11287268704123898263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-15974939537750931052012-07-16T15:19:02.987-04:002012-07-16T15:19:02.987-04:00There was a big local news report on this very sub...There was a big local news report on this very subject last summer. Now my husband always says "zipper merge people, zipper merge!" It really does make sense to go as far in your lane as possible to keep traffic moving. They also did a billboard campaign regarding it as well.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473567562285885265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-21811388426856103022012-07-13T19:12:56.914-04:002012-07-13T19:12:56.914-04:00I'm with you Suzan.

Another thing that will drive me nuts are those drivers using the shoulder as a lane to race ahead of the others who are jammed up in traffic due to construction, an accident etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-65701376277356667882012-07-13T14:12:10.570-04:002012-07-13T14:12:10.570-04:00Dept of Transportation in Pennsylvania should ask ...Dept of Transportation in Pennsylvania should ask the local television stations to air that information as a public service announcement. What drives me crazy is the sign on highway that says lane ends and then the drivers continue to drive in that lane and try to PUSH into the correct lane. Wanna make me crazy? That will do it! Left lane for turns only? No problem. Drive like a maniac in the left turn lane and then just before the lane actually turns attempt to merge into the lane going straight. One day this will literally cause my head to explode.Three Birds Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462935193167668508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-40853441477629092812012-07-13T11:56:41.526-04:002012-07-13T11:56:41.526-04:00I agree with the zipper effect.

Think of the freeway on ramp. The entering car is supposed to get up to the speed of the freeway traffic and merge in smoothly. But at the same time the freeway traffic is supposed to provide a place for the entering car to merge. This is a huge problem where I live because everyone wants to cut people off. It drives me crazy.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666910475457302786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6073231987777520786.post-16637269773497594712012-07-13T08:30:10.996-04:002012-07-13T08:30:10.996-04:00i had never heard of that zipper thing until my 19...i had never heard of that zipper thing until my 19 year old informed me. Makes sense. We all have someplace we have to be and spending a couple minutes haggling over who got over when makes no sense. It will only raise your BP and make you more stressed, which is no good while driving!
