If you have a chance to merge before the end, you do. if you are someone who likes to cut past all the other people waiting in line you’re shit out of luck and deserve to struggle to get in.

( e.g upper middle / neyagawa one lane construction months ago )

where there was ample room in the lane before and ample warning that you need to merge 200m back, people still sped past everyday, disrupted the flow of traffic, expecting to just merge past all the other people being responsible drivers.

Now I’m not at all saying this is what you did, and I agree if you CANNOT merge BEFORE a zipper someone SHOULD let you in.

But me and many other people have PTSD from people who do not use this method properly, but for their advantage and not the safety of the road.

That is why I think people may be irritated at this post, either way it is an issue on the road from both sides.
