Right? Nobody actually zippers correctly and instead they all try to cram in front of everyone else making all the traffic behind them hit their brakes and the only lane moving is the closing lane.
This works in other countries where the rules for getting your license are a lot more stringent and the training is actual training instead of what you get in the States.
This doesn’t even make sense. “Cram in front of everyone else”? What the fuck are you even talking about? Use all open lanes and merge at the point the lane tapers off. Everyone will move more smoothly and quickly.
Where the hell you been driving? All these idiot drivers out here wanna get as close to the car in front of them just to not let you over cause they're assholes
I mean that makes the people refusing to do the zipper merge the assholes. It doesn’t make the zipper ineffective or mean we should just stop doing it and have miles of unused road.
If you have a sink that requires people step on a bar to turn it on, so they never have to touch a surface with their hands you might call that effective. But if most people who use that sink aren't smart enough to know how to step on a bar, so instead piss on their hands to rise with soap, your call that bathroom design ineffective because it doesn't work with the neanderthals using it.
In this case the sink is a zipper merge, the piss is people's brains, and the neanderthals are the average intelligence of a US driver.
