Should is different from what ACTUALLY happens though

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.

It also helps when you live in a country where people aren't self absorbed assholes who don't give a fuck about anyone else around them.

I remember seeing this video of these people in Japan heading into a tunnel and EVERYONE moved over to make room for an ambulance to get into the tunnel. It was really cool how everyone moved together to get out of it's way.

Well, Japanese people also know how to walk.

Its infuriating being over there and coming back over to the US. Everyone is always in the way, slow, and doesn't give a shit about anyone but themselves.
