This is almost as bad as people who drive in the emergency lane to cut in front of other people. I never let those people in

This needs to be a billboard, a tv ad, a PSA with NPH. Whatever it takes to get that word out there!

The main reason this bugs me is because everybody in that giant line has to wait and they're following the rules, so why can't they?
MajorTom0101
Although if you design roadways with no advanced warning of a right turn only lane, your an as hole.
skelitor120
If you see them leave the line and try to get back in, yes. If not, assume they don't know the region and don't be such a dick about traffic

There should be about 1 million cars directly behind that car as well, assuming my calculations are correct.

Apparently according to traffic studies both lanes should stay full and zipper at the end for maximum efficiency. Although it bugs me too.
mthrndr01
That works if everyone's in on the game. Usually it's on lane that decides to shove three cars and block out the other that shits on things
TopPriorty
This is only supposed to be fore merging lanes, usually on a highway. Does not apply to turning lanes that only have one lane
terroritis
Didn't even realize that's what was being depicted. Good catch.
mritty
That's for when one lane is merging into the other, not when both lanes are continuing and you're just in the wrong one.
ottotravel
Never mind could not tell that was a turn sign.

I was going to say the same thing. Didn't see the sign at first.

No, that is for merge lanes. This is a turn/straight split.

JaxAndHisLampPost
There is a difference between two lanes merging into 1 and cutting in line in a turn lane. Turn lanes should be entered at their start.

Thank you. It depends on the situation, but yes, generally speaking, traffic is better for all when you cooperatively make use of all lanes.

Traffic studies are sorta BS though and don't account for the human element. You know that people are bad drivers.

This is true, but I think only if both lanes use the zipper effect. In fact, I *think* in some countries it's the law to do the zipper.?
kermdog
I live in Germany. It is definitely the law here. No matter how many times I flip them off

In this case, it would definetivly not be the law in Germany. And you seem to be a nice guy for flipping people off who follow the law.

Zipper merging is the law and it helps. Waiting till the last second to get into a turn lane isn't zipper merging.
AStegosaurus
The driver on the left is correct in the picture. Lines are dotted, so he is allowed to merge. He becomes wrong when the line becomes solid.
LvAllen
Except he's not merging, he's changing lanes, which he can do only when it is safe to move. He doesn't get to block traffic to sit.

OliBShoutin
So far everyone has cowed. Why don't you try running into the next driver who does it and let us know?
Morebetterer
As an insurance adjuster, that's not how it works.
OliBShoutin
If someone changes into your lane and you have the oppertunity to stop but don't, whose fault is that, smart guy?
OliBShoutin
or smart woman. Smart person.
Morebetterer
The person changing lanes has the greater responsibility to make sure it is safe to do so. The person not merging has the right of way.
Bullitt23
Incorrect. If the dash cam shows the person was coming into the lane and you could let him in and instead caused the accident, you lose.
Hotfarts
If you enter in to someone's else lane and they have the right of way, you're at fault. Doesn't matter where the impact is.
OliBShoutin
Or traffic is at a stop in all lanes, because of an accident in my lane, I change lanes and similar to my last comment happens?
Hotfarts
Same thing. Under normal driving circumstances it's the "over takers" responsibility to make sure it's safe & clear. By normal I mean >

Zipper merging can be done further back. If you had an opening to get in the correct lane and passed it up you're an asshole
joritan
why do it early though? shouldn't people use as much of the road as they can for as long as they can? wouldn't that improve traffic?
Mixelphlick
Because all those people that you passed had the presence of mind to plan ahead. You passing then is just cutting in line, for clarity I'm 1

This ONLY works with merges. If you do this with turning lanes as shown in the picture above, it slows traffic.

It's more like they're saying, "an empty unused lane just makes traffic worse, let's cooperate and use the entire road."

You're thinking of when lanes merge on the highway due to construction or an accident, but still, the logic fails. The same number of cars

It's not just about that one spot. There are multiple factors behind that spot that make traffic easier if you late/cooperative merge.

if you make a mistake you never correct it with poor driving. You go forward through the intersection than make a U-turn when viably safe

I've done that, but only cuz I'm an asshole

I usually bite the bullet, get lost, panic and then either die or reset my GPS.

If you're in a car then why the big freak out? It's easy to pull over safely and figure it out. Try figuring out missing a turn when the...

I am a very anxious person. Also it was funnier to write like that, I do not generally die either.
URNSHOW
That would be good. Because by now you would look and smell off putting and would also be considered a zombie that must be destroyed.
CloudberryMoose
Oh, I already do that. It's just that I'm not an actual zombie. :D

Ah, yes, the American golf cart.

I usually look forward to where I can let someone in if they need to. People get too upset about a car length of space. This isn't the bank.

And so, 5 people turn a 5 minute slowdown into a 30 minute backup. Thanks bud. Things move faster when everyone waits their turn.

If you let someone in during a busy time, it causes a huge buildup and ultimately completely stops traffic behind you.
Natsumori
Not if you have a proper following distance.

I get upset if they don't use a blinker, because I'm anticipating it less. If they use their blinker, I will always let them in
bitemark
Can't argue that. Just use your blinker, it's not hard damnit
MattHallguitar
To the point I get angry when others don't let people in. I've let more in to make up. If everyone let one in we would have world peace ha
OurMessiahHasReturnedBitches
If everyone would let one in, the damn line would NEVER move, and the people waiting their turn behind you will suffer. Cut the selfish fuck

It's also when you are familiar but 95% of the time a lane doesn't have traffic but sometimes it has like a mile of it. Occasionally 95S is

backed the hell up right before my usual exit, and I can't see the traffic start from far off because my view is blocked by other cars.

Wild guess - license plate?

Well, yeah, chances are if you are in Tennessee, you will most likely see more cars with Tennessee plate do that kinda stuff than you would

Yeah!
Budborne
How can you possibly know that? Because of the assumptions you've made about people you've never met who pissed you off while driving?
dbizzles
Maybe from having the same commute every single day at the same time and recognizing some of the cars, some being co-workers.
BobaFettBobaFettWhere
People obviously doing this honk at me for not letting them in---I don't give a fuck you made a dumb move, idiot
skygodess
I enjoy when they try forcing in. "Go ahead, hit my fucking 3 ton truck & let's see whose vehicle is totaled." LOL
Jfro80
Lots of people clearly do this ass-hattery daily, judging by all the downvotes

I'll leave ALMOST enough space in front of me and shoot up at the last second forcing them to go through the intersection. So. Satisfying.
