Holding up 4wheelers at traffic jams..

LOL....Good one there....when did you move to OK....I was thinking you lived in NC....

 

I've noticed the vehicles not allowing the merge by following too closely create more of a problem then the ones that are waiting too late to merge. I doubt we'd see most backups if everyone kept a safe following distance and shared the road. Sigh...

 

I moved to OKC in May last year, from LA.

 

You are not a truck driver. Have never driven a truck before. Fake truck icon

 

He doesn't have to be a driver to give out good , prudent advice.....which he's done here.....just saying. Being patient in this situation is the best way to handle it....

 

That is a myth my friend. Zipper merge works. But it takes every one doing it. Its actually a posted rule in most mn construction zones...

I do the same. It forces everyone to take their turn.

 

Everyone should use all lanes up to the merge point.

 

Yup, thats zipper. I used to be like some of these guys, then mn started threatening obstructing traffic tickets, ect.. the hanging out over the fog to scare off 4 wheelers only gets people mad. No real point. If both are running to the merge, and every other into the single lane, NOBODY has the uper hand. Its 2 lanes, pick one, and roll smooth....
