Both vehicles approach the merge point and zipper merge: 1 left lane and 1 right lane.

 

You BOTH got the warning it needed to happen 2 miles ago. So in your scenario, there is now an accident at the merge point and traffic is going to be congested or stopped for miles. That's a much better outcome. Yea he's an entitled dbag but in that situation how are you any better?

Oh well,bet he merges next time. Be a dbag,get treated like a dbag. Entitled pieces of excrement and I'm probably paying his school loans to boot.

There's a long discussion on the Smith & Wesson board about whether you should allow people in when they come charging up that empty lane.

But damn it, you are not going to break line if I have anything to do with it.

I'm with Alpo on this one. I spent 30 years driving a truck and saw this behavior nearly every day. And it's usually some self important Jackwagon that thinks that since he has an expensive car that he's better than the rest of us. 

I made more than a few of them stop and wait in my day, and if I hadn't been driving a company truck, would have made a lot more of them.

I still do it in my Jeep when it seems to be needed to be done. 

As a side note, when I have the top off especially, I really like it when one of them make a Big Deal about passing me, just to have me catch up to him at the next red light. I'll pull up beside him, clap my hands, and in my best Marine Corps Drill Instructor voice, give him a,

"ALL RIGHT! CONGRATULATIONS! YOU BEAT ME TO THE RED LIGHT!"

I usually wait next to an eighteen wheeler, blocking the closing lane until we get to the merge point. Lets the traffic ahead clear and prevents the left or right lane passers. Usually makes the transition faster.

Re: the "zipper merge."  The theory is great, but it assumes that everyone is doing the one car length per 10mph between cars.  Which I almost never see.  Say that there are 3 lanes plus the merge.  You're in the #3 lane, if you leave that much space people come zipping up in the #2 lane and the merge lane and fill it in so you have maybe half a length between you and the next car.  Someone else come zipping up in the merge lane and the choice is slow down or let them hit you.  So you slow down, then another tries to merge in, so you slow down more.  Zipper merge only works under ideal conditions, which only happen in the test track or on paper.

It's the same way that the second amendment's reference to militia only applies to the national guard even though the national guard did not appear until 1903, and the Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791.

 

Boy, you are a dumb Canadian.

I get the meme, and I can sympathize with it, but food for thought:

 

The one time I zoomed past traffic, cut in when I had a chance and drove on the shoulder for a ways I had gotten a message at work that my barn was on fire.  I was unable to make phone contact with anyone at home and I had no idea where my kids were or if they were in the barn or not.  Luckily all I lost was a barn, a couple horses and a tractor.  That was the most scared I've ever been in my life, and I've had guns pointed at me.

 

I'm glad I didn't happen across any of you guys on my way.  When ever I get passed by such A--  jerks, I like to think they have a good reason to drive like a jerk, too.

 

I also try real hard not to complain about parking, but that's another story.

The Bill of Rights does not apply to Canadians, you need to work this out for yourselves.

 

But you ask a good question to get your thinking in the right direction. The Bill of Rights is an assurance of freedoms on this side of the border, it has been working well for quite some time even if not perfectly. 

 

You are free to copy ours or come up with your own version. Then go through whatever processes you need to to make it stick. Hopefully, as Canadians, you can do it far less painfully than what the founders here went through.

OH, I'm well aware the Bill of Rights is solely recognized and should apply in the United States.

I was just wondering why I, a Canadian, a foreigner if you will, can understand it's importance, significance and it's simplicity while a portion of your population does not.

Good point.

The 2nd Amendment does not apply to semi-auto rifles, nor does it apply to bolt action rifles, pistols, or revolvers.  The 2nd Amendment RESTRICTS THE GOVERNMENT. The technology of the firearm is irrelevant. The restrictions on the government remain the same, regardless of the firearm.  The 2nd Amendment was not written to grant permission for citizens to own and bear firearms.  It forbids government interference in the right to keep and bear arms, period.  The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

 

This also applies to the other rights.  They are not granted, they stipulate inherent rights that the government may not prohibit.

I agree.

 

But that can be tough to sell these days.
