I wasn't sure if it was sarcasm or not. It mostly seems to work, except for everyone losing their goddamn mind at the southbound exit for 50/99/Cap city.

My original post meant no sarcasm at all. You have a triple lane interstate going through a city. Normal folks can work around semi's in the middle lane. People merging appreciate it not having to deal with a train of 53' trailers. But CA is different. A trucker will probably get a ticket in this situation.

C-Bangin' it

I had an interesting case of the zipper merge today. There was a lane that joins the road, without merging, from the right, and a closed lane on the left. People were doing the right thing in theory, but the right lane (which goes straight through for another kilometer or two) was nearly deserted. If a lane joins without a merge, I think people ought to use that lane to its full extent, and then people can move over from the closed lane that much more easily. I crossed over the solid lines into that lane, because I'll be hosed if I was waiting for another light cycle just because people couldn't be bothered to change lanes.

That's sort of going against a zipper merge and could be construed as dickish. The solid white indicates why - it's not to be used as a lane to cheat ahead until the merge, but people already in that lane should stay in it until the merge. What you're suggesting is closer to moving into a non-exit only lane that's packed full of people and then cutting in back right before the exit, although not nearly to that extent. It's still not really what a zipper merge is supposed to be and I'd probably be annoyed at you if I saw it, but not enough to honk or anything like that.

Except the people beyond the dashed line were just sitting in the left lane, not moving into the right lane to use all the available capacity of the road. If people had actually been using it, we could've got through the lights at least one cycle sooner. There's no reason to have a zipper merge at all when both lanes of traffic can simply change lanes to the right.

It's not so much FIBs as a whole as the ones from Chicagoland that I've noticed have lovely driving (didn't run into the same level of dickishness from IL plates in Western WI).

Cut off nothing. If that guy was paying a hair of attention he would have seen that and had time to correct for it.

Just had to guide someone in parallel parking, Jesus some people shouldn't drive. "Stop stop stop!" does not mean full reverse thrust. Then when they pull forward and get out they said the person behind them was too far forward (they weren't) and they had tons of room (because they just pulled forward). Also the scratch from the other car's front plate holder was apparently always there. I don't know what their plan was if I didn't step out to guide them, probably push the car behind them back a spot.

I got cut off on the way home by a guy in a Nisan titan leaving a parking lot. He had one phone pressed to his ear with his shoulder. His hands were busy texting on another phone.

Got in a near accident today as a tesla was weaving through cars at 60+ on local. Weaved between me and the slower car to my right then slammed the brakes immediately after as the light turned yellow. We maintained maybe 3-5 feet of distance this entire exchange. ofc I was in a miata so they probably wouldn't have even felt it.
