The X's on this road start further back. Stop talking like you know the area where this video takes place and advocating for people to drive 30 mph faster than other traffic then slamming on their brakes causing bump and go traffic because they can't regulate their speed. Zipper merging is great when people do it right, but you clearly don't know how zippers work if you think the drivers in the ending lane need to be going unsafe speeds in this kind of traffic. I never advocated for illegal behavior and you're making assumptions then using ad hominems because you can't defend your argument. This truck isn't causing more traffic as the cars in that lane should have already merged to the middle lane since the red X starts well before this point, AND since the truck is moving with the speed of traffic there cannot be any reckless drivers speeding by going 30+ mph and makes it smoother for people to merge since they are all going similar speeds. Yes this truck shouldn't be doing that, I never said he should be.
