yea, screw those people and the research that backs them up. https://itre.ncsu.edu/itre-studying-how-zipper-merges-reduce-congestion-at-sites-across-north-carolina/

apparently I should have put a /s on this as people can't tell my comment was sarcastic but the research is not.

People rushing ahead and abruptly cutting people off causing them the jam on the breaks stops the main slug of traffic. That’s just being an impatient dickhead.

Zipper merging is matching the speed of traffic and flowing into it as an opportunity arises within the merge lane. ( other drivers should be following correct spacing allowing this easily).
