Impatient car driver. Did he deserve this? lol

[boomhower]

Yeah, he earned that one.

Agreed, in Minnesota, we have too many nice drivers that merge way before hand then they all get aggrevated when someone does the zipper merge correctly that they now have 3-5 signs saying not to merge until the end.

How dare you deny them their righteous indignation! Its an American right to be offended when you're dead wrong!

 

[Krazy4Real]

Absolutely deserved.

Are those his backup lights coming on that I see? Like he put it in reverse and tried to back off the rail? Hahahaha!

I should have whipped out my video camera and got his info and called corporate. Minnesota is horrible at doing the zipper merge. At one point police would ticket people who would pull out on others simple to block them. The newspapers keep stating how the zipper merge is effective.

Hell one time I got caught because everyone merged miles before the first sign to merge so i said screw it then someone cocked blocked me in the empty lane. I no longer merge until the last possible point. I wish everyone would do the same thing.

Define 'last possible point'. If you're past the last merge sign, driving down half a lane, choosing who to cut off, you are being a dick, and you are slowing everyone down.

The best solution is the one that maximizes throughput at the bottleneck point, and merging, braking, and cutting off is not the maximizing strategy.

People drive like idiots after the merge too, they just do it more slowly. Failing to maintain speed, failing to efficiently exit the obstructed area, and generally making a bad situation worse.

I would say last possible point is when the lane starts shrinking or in non construction merge points, when the dashed line between lanes disappears you should merge at that point.

I agree people can still be jerks. But here in MN it is the opposite with too much Minnesota nice that everyone merges too soon. Again the local news reminded people to zipper merge and the MNDoT wants people to zipper merge and not letting someone is can get them a fine from police.

that is a beautiful thing
