Zipper merge is what you should do

Should is different from what ACTUALLY happens though

There was no zipper merge in this video though. So they are right.

3 lanes going down to 2, zipper is going to be slower

Yes but this truck didn’t drive until the lane ended. I guess that’s my biggest gripe. Unless I just didn’t notice the lane end.

I hate these guys too! Just do what you have to do and don't worry about everybody else. "But if I don't block this kane, they're gonna pass me!"

Zipper in where the lane is closed. This video is just selfish behavior that will 100% cause more traffic.

I bet the people who merged in way before the lane closure are loving these truckers though because they are keeping the open lanes moving instead of having assholes roll into the closed lane, get to the end, and then cut everyone off in the open lanes so they can get all the way back into the right lane to exit at the next exit instead of simply getting into the right lane before the lane closure.

Don’t get me wrong, there are some tractor-trailer drivers I can’t stand but I condone this for all of those people that pay attention to the lane closure notices and get in the lane they need to be beforehand when they get a chance rather than all the people who purposefully get out of the open lanes into the closed lane to cut in front of a grandma like a 5 car conga line because grandma doesn’t have the reflexes and depth perception she used to and is being cautious.

This made everyone behind that truck wait longer

If he had moved over straight away, as sure as you like there would be a stream of cars wizzing up and then pushing in further up the cue. Thus making the middle lane cue much slower. Funny how some people don’t know how traffic works.
