What about all the fucking assholes who piled up in the right turn lane for a mile? What if the guy in the left lane just came off a highway exit and wants to turn left but the entire right lane is completely packed like in the pic?

OP is a fucking fag.

>>16759074
*wants to turn right.

Dammit, I fell for OP's bait so hard I fucked up my post.

>>16759074
This or trying to turn into a corner shop or side street instead of waiting behind the whole line

>>16759074
>>16759080

You slow down and signal as soon as you get into that left lane instead of trying to scoot to the front of the line. People are going to be a lot more willing to let you in if they saw you come out of a side street than if they see you barreling down the left side and trying to cut in at the last opportunity.

>>16759063
Your welcome

>>16759074
This is actually a huge problem with a certain left turn lane on an 50mph road where I live. The turning lane is literally half a mile long and it gets so full that people have to start lining up in the oncoming left turn lane to avoid a huge pileup

>>16760226
But then you block everyone in the left lane further up the street

>>16760357
You're going to block them one way or another. Might as well be where someone will let you in rather than just give you a 'Fuck you for cutting ahead' and make everyone wait.

>>16759063
I wouldn't have to if people left space and didn't speed up when I try to change lanes and cut me off. Just today my lane was coming to an end, I signaled that I was changing lanes and a van sped up and overtook me and I had to slam the brakes.

>>16759063
Why?

>>16759063

All traffic engineers agree, zipper merge is the most efficient. The problem isn't the one guy its that the rest of the cars aren't using both lanes optimally.

>>16759063
do what? not let people merge?

>telling me how to drive

lmfao ill cut through whatever lane i want if i see an opening you turd. just because you're baffled a car started moving outside the hivemind that is traffic doesn't mean shit to me.

This is called the zipper method and even tho it makes you an asshole, it's the most efficient method

Check out cgpgreys video by it

>>16760945
If your lane is ending, you need to yield. The continuing lane has right of way, so it's up to you to find a safe gap, not on them to let you in.

Wannabe traffic cops are the worst. Sorry you're so stupid that you feel like lining up cars for half a mile is more ideal than merging properly, just so nobody gets ahead of you because that's deemed "unfair". Truth is, driving isn't a race and the lane you're in doesn't belong to you. Stop being a self righteous twat.

>>16762180
Found the teenager

>>16762925
You are one of the reasons why I got metal bumpers on my truck, you think you're better than other people that are allready lining up to the merger, si you merge ahead of everyone, for what? To gain a 1/4 mile advantage? And people like you get mad when they don't let you merge, so you make your opening by driving into someone and they slamming the brakes, thus YOU are creating the traffic you wanted to avoid.
I know zipper merge is the most efficient way, but it doesn't work in real life applications, and people like you is the reason why there's traffic in lane mergers.

I do this all the time espically if there's a trucker ahead they are easy to cut off

>>16760945
>didn't speed up
This shit is so annoying because everyone does it.

One time a guy in front of me was trying to move from the right lane to the left, and nobody in the left lane would allow him to, even though traffic was moving at a decent clip and it was no big deal. I eventually got tired of it and just swept over into the left lane, cutting off the car in front of me, just so the car in front could move over. I then proceeded back to the right lane.

>the lane you're in doesn't belong to you
>driving isn't a race, especially not to be first to the next red light
>stop getting mad at people just for being in front of you, it's not an issue unless they're impeding traffic for no good reason

>merging lane to the right of me

Friend turned me on to the idea and I never stopped doing it. Feels good man

>>16762965
>people like you
Why should I sit in traffic when I don't have to?

>merge ahead of everyone
Give me a break. You'r STILL making it sound like the people in line are victims. "Oh we were just lined up ahead of the merge when this big evil man came and CUT IN FRONT OF US ;(((("

>you think you're better than other people
Lol, no. If people learned how to merge properly and understood it, this wouldn't be an issue. Again, the lane you're currently traveling doesn't belong to you, or anyone. Nobody is doing anything illegal or wrong by not sitting in stop-and-go hell like the rest of the sheep.

>>16762969
This guy gets it. Often times, by merging ahead, you avoid being stuck behind a semi that takes a while to accelerate, or people playing on their phones not paying attention to the road who leave big gaps or take forever to accelerate.

>>16759063
That's how traffic is supposed to flow. Filing into a single lane causes massive traffic problems, but merging in a zipper effect helps with the flow of traffic.

>>16762999
Traffic that you are causing, are you un-self aware that your antics are causing the traffic that you are so desperately trying to avoid? It's like I'm discussing with a teenager that goes "I'm special I won't play by your rules sheeps lol", why can't you see that by merging before you allready slowing down but not stopping, you are making people stop by forcefully merging and making them brake so they won't have to run into you.

>>16763003
Only on paper, that doesn't apply in real life

>>16763016
I don't actually do that, though. What I do is I wait for an opening (i.e a slow moving semi with a massive gap in front) and merge, but not so early that I'm stuck behind a line of cars at the back of the zipper. Big difference.

>but I get stuck waiting in traffic because I don't understand how to zipper merge
Not really my problem, pal. If you don't want to sit in traffic, you could always just use the fucking lane that was paved right next to you. It's there for a reason.

>>16763021
On paper, traffic is better when people signal lane changes or turns. Should we all stop doing that too since not everyone does it?

>>16763068
Should also add..I leave plenty of space in front of me so that others can merge as well. Why? Because I'm not an asshole, and I deride no joy in forcing people to get behind me, like a child having a tantrum.

Americans BTFO in europe this is the norm and obliged by law to let somebody merge into traffic.

also, left lane is overtaking lane, no matter if you have 5 or 2 lanes on the right, you stay the fuck out of the left lane.

>inb4 eurocuck, yeah, you cant really inb4 but on this matter you cant call us cucks if you have shitty road etiquette and laws.

>>16763082
>hahaha dumb burgers cucks xd btfo
You have to be 18 to post here

>>16763082
It's the law here too. Doing otherwise is considered impeding and is illegal.

>left lane is overtaking lane
Yeah we have variations of that here, like "slower traffic keep right", and you can be fined if a cop sees you holding up traffic in the left lane, even if you're going the speed limit or a little above it.

>>16763092

If this happends here, i just tank my shitbox in front of theirs, if they hit me they fuck up and im 100% in my right.
Luckily for me people do respect this as it is stated on a roadsign on places where this often happends that merging 'like a zipper' is enforced by law.

It's just common sense Im sure most people across the pond think likewise, there are alwasy rotton apples, I just don't tolerate them.

It does work in real life applications when manchildren in pickup trucks are forcibly removed from the road and the world of the living. It works excellently. In fact, it even works better than everyone trying to say "no, you go, i'll wait" even when a minority of persons participate, especially since zipper mergers tend to do other wonderful things like take off faster than a fucking snail and actually use their brakes instead of gradually downshifting for ten miles before a stop sign instead of holding up the que in the name of fuel efficiency and brake pad life

Have you seen a doctor about your blood pressure? You're lining up for an infarct son.
And I don't give concession to let people force me to stop and let them into the lane either unless the traffic is flowing freely in which case it can be done with no inconvenience to anyone.

>>16763261
Stopping and getting going again is still faster than piling into one lane

>>16759063

I go out of my way to block people who do this.

I also go out of my way to block people passing me on the right just before a lane ends.

It's a if you've got a fucking 5 lane that's about to go down to four by losing the rightmost lane, and you're trying to pass traffic in the last 1/4 mile of right lane you're a fucking asshole and I'll match speed with you however hard to try until you get with the program and merge behind me.

>>16764245

Yeah, but it makes me feel good.

They could merge right at any time, instead of insisting on overtaking me at 2mph right up to the last 100yds of lane, forcing me to slow down and let them over at the last second.

If you're going to operate thinking no more than 3 seconds ahead at any time, don't expect me to accommodate you.

>>16764077
Have you tried not queue jumping?

Otherwise, anyone who really wants to go in front of me usually slows down when they get there. I don't like dogs in mangers, so you can delay the people behind me.

>>16763495

>>16761195
>zipper merge is the most efficient
and average braking distance from 35 to 0 is over 200ft, and 400ft from 60 to 0

>>16763214

People who merge at the last second are the reason why you get massive backups and jams on the highway. If everyone was able to maintain speed through the light or ramp you'd maximize efficiency. Waiting until the last second to merge dangerously only causes a massive slowdown. Besides, I've seen people get pulled over for this shit, which they deserve.

>>16763229
Using the brakes to stop is bad because you have less control. When you downshift to slow down before coming to a stop, you don't even need to brake and you still have control of the vehicle. Meanwhile, when you're coasting in a high gear, you always end up braking hard because your momentum is spinning the engine at that point.

I don't bother to merge in front of people who are obviously jamming up against the car in front of them so nobody can get in """their""" lane. What I look for is somebody who's left a spot available to merge in.

But nobody sees this or recognizes it, they only see me "racing in front of everyone" because "OMG HOW COME THAT GUY IS IN THE LANE OVER THERE DRIVING PAST ME HE CAN'T DO THAT I WAS HERE FIRST!!!"

>>16760935
You're just as likely, or unlikely, to have someone let you in both scenarios, might as well do it where you're not blocking a mile of open road.

fucks me off. same with people waiting until the last possible moment to merge, instead of finding a spot to merge into in the prior 200m of signposted road signalling the upcoming merge.

>>16761195

>>16759063
>guy rockets up specifically to get to the very front and cut in like an asshole

Problem.

>guy cautiously moving up the line, looking for ANY opportunity to merge in safely, such as during initial accordian acceleration of the stopped line when gaps normally form

No problem. I have the same approach with people merging onto the interstate from onramps; if they have their signal on and are actually TRYING to find a gap instead of just plowing in there is a lot less harm in my backing off about 2mph for a few seconds to make space than there is in nobody giving him any room for any reason and him being stuck either cutting someone off (dangerous), driving on the shoulder (possibly dangerous), or blocking all the rest of the onramp and sitting STOPPED and even further unable to merge (dangerous for him, anyone behind him on onramp, and traffic on the street they came from).


If you're merging, don't be a dick. If you're in the through lane, don't be a dick. In all cases, don't go out of your way to be a fucking dick, and traffic will flow much more smoothly for all involved.

>>16766937

I was in a left turn only lane. A BMW didn't want to wait and it zoomed all the way up to the head of the line and then turned left from the right lane. It cut right in front of me. As another "line cutter" in this thread said, if I hit him, then I am in the wrong for choosing to hit him. However, I think I would win in court since he did the left turn from the right lane.

>so you day you intentionally blocked him because you were angry? Case dismissed

>Forcibly noise in

Still waiting fit that one hit who gets out of his car. I have soda ready to spray at all times and a cheap gun in case some "alpha" wants to get physical or pull his own out. If you shoot a guy in his car over soda you have no case. If he shoots you because you got violent he'll probably walk.

Sooner or later, it's going to be acceptable for you people to be shot on sight and strung up from signs as a warning.
You'll be the first to die when you break civilisation.
In fact, America will probably be the first country to descend into the stone age. They're already halfway there, look at LA.

Do this everyday

Someone always lets me in

I'm just not a cuck

I just throw pennies or lug nuts at their car. They're usually not smug after that, and they're always around in my car.

>>16760935
No matter what you do you're gonna piss off somebody so you might as well just cut to the front.

The zipper merge is the worst thing ever designed because nobody actually tries to do it correctly. So you get a bunch of idiots making traffic slow to halt while everyone waits to merge until the last possible moment.

>you can always time a gap right because there are often overcautious drivers. cut in
When I see that happening behind me, I slam my brakes and force the "line cutter" to not be able to finish merging in. His car blocks his own lane and of course now everyone else gets a longer look at him and his license plate.

Take a picture of the line cutter's face and license plate. Post those on the driver rating site at:

>lmfao ill cut through whatever lane i want
That is the nigger approach to life. Take what they want. You're the one cutting in line.

>>16762925
>the lane you're in doesn't belong to you. Stop being a self righteous twat.
You're the one driving up on the shoulder to the front of the line and then cutting in. So it's quite appropriate for someone to sit astride their lane and the shoulder space to stop cheaters like you.

>>16762998
>Friend turned me on to the idea
Thank you. You are one of the forces trying to stop cheaters in the world.

>>16762999
>Why should I sit in traffic when I don't have to?
Your attitude is the same as those taking cuts in line at registration or university events. You make everyone else into your victims.

Those line cutters say they are not cheating but that they don't want to wait in a long ass line.

And your excuse that you aren't taking cuts, but "merging ahead" or taking advantage of a gap in line because someone is overly safe by leaving a gap is asinine. You are another teenager or manchild with the attitude that the world revolves around you and what you want.

>>16763214
>The mentality of "just get in line" is for socialists.
Oh, you invoke your right as a capitalist entitles you to take cuts at the head of the line because waiting in line is for socialists. Way to go.

>>16763241
>Another thing I see is people drive up the left lane, then just turn right on the outside
Yep, they do that to avoid waiting in the right turn lane. They drive in the lane marked straight ahead only, then make a sharp right turn at the intersection, thus avoiding using the right turn lane.

The same happens with left turn lanes at traffic lights. Occasionally someone cheats by not waiting in line. They take cuts by racing up on the right and then turning left, forcing the legit driver to let them in.

>>16776642
>Try and block me faggots
You're willing to collide with people preventing you from driving on the shoulder

Good idea to get face in picture. Just plates is not enough.

As per following video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGFqfTCL2fs

I cuck myself willingly every morning and evening driving to/from work.

My right knee is basically fucked up so being piled up and switching back and forth between accelerating and breaking ends up being very painful. I leave a very large space in front of me to I never have to use my brakes.

Leaving a huge space in front of me ends up keeping the traffic moving at the same speed anyways.

This is everyday in Toronto on the 401 and DVP, both very disgusting freeways to drive on.

It's you who's willing to collide with me by blocking a legal merge.
I'll turn in, you can either stop and let me or smash into the side of my vehicle.

>>16777212
I had to ride the shoulder because he was blocking two traffic lanes on purpose and for no good reason other than "HURR DON'T CUT IN FRONT OF ME". Huge difference there, pal.

>>16777212
>Your attitude is the same as those taking cuts in line at registration or university events. You make everyone else into your victims.

No it isn't because a line in traffic is not the same as a line in a store. You're not lining up to get into a concert or movie to get the best seats, you're not lining up to check out at the store. You're lining up to...clear a particular section of roadway, and for some reason people choose NOT to utilize the available lanes around them simply because they are ending soon, but then get self righteous when people don't do the same.

Get a knee brace if you don't have one already at your local walmart or other similar store.

Pull your seat a little further back so that your right leg is mostly straight at the knee. You now apply gas by flexing the foot at the ankle not the knee which remains unmoving. You brake by rotating the foot over to the brake as you normally do. Press the brake pedal with the foot moving at the angle and not the knee.

The amount of knee movement is much less than if you sit close to the pedals with your leg bent at the knee. So many drivers do this and I don't know why. I don't have a bad leg and I always prefer sitting far back from the pedals with my leg mostly straight. I push pedals with the tip of my foot.

When choosing a brace, if you get the knee brace with the velcro straps, it is easy to apply after you get into the car. It is easy to remove inside the car while you are parked at the destination. That way no one knows you have a brace.

In honor of your knee, here is a picture of a sedan with just enough room to insert a leg. I don't know what model of car it is. But it is modern enough to have airbags inside the seat upholstery. Gag. Not even the chevrolet Cavalier looked so cheap since it didn't show thread lines and it had at least 13 inches of legroom.

>>16780073
Thanks for the advice anon. No clue why I haven't adjusted the seat yet, chalk it up to me being actually retarded.

In terms of knee braces, I've got those soft ones that I can slip on, but I'll pick up those one of those stiffer ones that strap on.

This was pretty recent, but I was told that it should heal, just no exercise for a couple months. Remember everyone, stop your routine if form starts slipping... Not worth trying to push that little bit if you can't maintain form ...

>>16780149
I had arthroscopic surgery of my knee long ago but still had to drive. So the rehab specialist advised me to pull the seat back a bit to keep the knee joint from needing to flex and bend when using the accelerator and brake pedals.

I noticed that even after healing, it was easier to sit far back. There's no need to scoot forward just to provide leg room to non-existent passengers in the rear seat anyways....

It's you who's willing to collide with my knife by blocking my legal entry into your home
It's legal just like your claim of cutting in.

>>16781527
Usually, I see people exiting those illegally. It's a right turn only exit, but they will make a left turn. It sucks when I'm behind them because they keep waiting and waiting for both sides of the street to clear.

But they don't care just like the other posters in this thread who take cuts at the head of the line.

I follow these simple rules:
Are you in a hurry? Drive in the left lane, cut people off, do whatever you need to get to your destination as quickly as possible.
Are you not in a hurry? Stay in the right lane and shut the fuck up. Let the guy merge in front of you.
Plain and simple, black and white.
If you're mad that someone does that, remember that you can do it too. The fact that you're not doing it means you're not in a hurry so shut the fuck up.

Retards. They drive among us.

>>16759074
>What about all the fucking assholes who piled up in the right turn lane for a mile?
Just like any line anywhere, the goal is to insert yourself at the head of the line. That way you avoid waiting in line. Use any mental justification you want - others certainly do.

Some people feel they themselves are above waiting in line. Their ego doesn't allow them to wait if they can fool you or brute force their way ahead of you.

>>16790887
His method works. I've used it. He just didn't finish his explanation. I start moving again slowly now that everyone else in line is aware of the "line cutter" and as we all start moving slowly no gap big enough opens up for the line cutter.

The purpose the other poster had in mind is to make sure the line cutter looks like he is cutting in line. That way, others will notice him and his face and plates more.

So that other poster had a good idea. Since the line isn't really moving that much, no one in line was really delayed because everyone will come to a stop again very soon anyways.

>>16759063
I do this every single time. It's much faster. In fact, if I inadvertently end up in the right lane, I change lanes, and drive up while everybody sucks my dick. Pretty sure that I read somewhere that this is more efficient for traffic patterns anyways.

>>16763255

I feel like you shouldn't be able to renew your license without retaking the same testing as when you first got it.

>>16759063
>Don't do this.

Lots of people in this thread talk about doing variations of cutting in line or out accelerating their way into a spot. But if there was a policeman, they would not do it.

That is the sign that they know what they are doing is wrong. Since they would not do it to a police car.

>>16793158
>Since they would not do it to a police car.
These trash talkers definitely would NOT cut in line to a police car, so it's not legal.

>>16792735

Kys.

your mistake was not getting away.

>>16794812
>your mistake was not getting away.
If the police has your plate, or other cars had dashcam footage of your bike's plate, the police can still show up at your home. If the bike wasn't reported stolen, then they will have a case.

People do this shit on my freeway offramp, the line goes back a few Ks and people just fly along the freeway until the end, then stop in the middle of the freeway and wait for someone to let them though. At least 1 person a minute at the right time of day, it's totally fucked up.

>>16798014
>People do this shit on my freeway offramp
They just muscle their way in sometimes without signaling. They just turn into any seam between two cars even if it is only 5 feet separation. That is enough.

At that point, the car in line has to stop because the CHEATER exploits a technicality of the law. If the person in line then hits the CHEATER, that is a deliberate collision and is the fault of the victim in line. This is what makes it so annoying to have cheaters zoom up on the shoulder where there is not even a lane but enough space to drive. I see this a lot.

>>16769835
yeah but who the fuck wants to drive less than 40 miles an hour.

It's not being a cheater you dumb cunt, it's you being a pussy for not doing it.

You know those posters are right. There are lots of bad things drivers do and brag about, but they would NEVER dare do it to a police car. They're afraid of a traffic ticket, a moving violation, or even reckless driving if it is racing to the head of the line and cutting across the head of the line. A turn at the head of the line is not a merge but is instead a reckless driving illegal left or right turn forcing all other traffic to stop or they will hit you.
