The correct way to merge in a construction zone?

Use both lanes until merging point.
Then ZIPPER merge.

 

I respectfully disagree.. your partly correct .. But
They didn't figure it out they both were driving neutered trucks it was strictly coincidental they ended up at the merge point simultaneously
Also the guy I described in my post you quoted is a product of their failed attempts to spawn a family..
They and their wives are also the 1's that thought up the idea of participation trophys too
Just saying it's the circle of life

 

It’s no different than watching everyone bunch up before a ramp. I don’t know where the #### they think all the traffic coming off that ramp is going to go. All they care about is that it happens behind them.

 

So you are one of the aggressive ones. I see you guys all the time.

 

That's one way to look at it. I tend to view the people trying to cut in line at all costs as the aggressive ones.

 

Not at all. I let them all in. Not trying to argue, just the way I do it. To each their own. Have witnessed many accidents with trucks trying to stop cars from merging in. Watched a truck In Ct ride down the center of the road with dotted line in center of his/her hood. Is that how I am supposed to drive? Many ways to skin a cat, which way is right? That's what I like about this forum, we can agree to disagree.

 

I let 2 in the next 3 stacked up next to my trailer can go F themself

 

No, they had to figure it out same as everyone else. Or they were a turn-over statistic long before they were a roll-over statistic. Until about 5yrs into dereg even Punkin and JB trucks had truck drivers in them for the most part. The trucks didn’t give them any other choice. We didn’t need “programs” or “procedures” to keep traffic moving, alternate merge was the solution a bunch of truck drivers arrived at for the problem in front of them, a lot of times without even discussing it on the radio first. That went on all day when you had everything from gassers to KT 600’s out there all at once. None of that would have worked with Swifty in all of them.

 

Don’t let up! Stay in your lane, it’s YOUR lane.
Hammer down cut everyone off!
That wreck is back there, not your doing, go on!
Quit living in the past!

 

IF.... the problum is they don't wait... I let 1-2 in then 5 more try to push there way in
