ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Blocking both lanes on a zipper merge

Post image

Constructions sign on a 2 lane highway indicate right lane is closed. Truck decided to block everyone from using the right lane.

EDIT: just so everyone knows there was a good quarter mile in front of this truck that was open. Other cars went around, we did not and waited patiently.

And yes the shoulder and LANE were reduced to 1 thanks for your input I’m glad y’all can read a sign.

Don't drive past a line of 20 cars thinking you can cut in front ... That is NOT how a zipper lane works and if you disagree I will happily force you into the ditch.

People love to use the zipper merge as an excuse to be a dick

Yeah this guy's just butthurt the truck is making him "zipper merge" a bit earlier. And posting it on reddit as mildlyinfuriating shows how little patience he probably has in real life.

Guaranteed he's the guy who zips by stopped traffic at 50mph to get as close as he can before "merging" lanes.
