7:50 it is the proper way to merge called zipper merge. Reduces differences in speeds between two lanes Reduces the overall length of traffic backup by as much as 40 percent Reduces congestion on freeway interchanges Creates a sense of fairness and equity that all lanes are moving at the same rate
The zipper *is* the most efficient way to merge lanes, it’s not even debatable. The problem is, for the zipper to work, everyone has to be on the same page. It rarely goes that smoothly in real life.
7:55 perfectly legit, legal and proper merge, you don't merge a mile back, you merge at the point of merging lanes, where the lanes technically come together and then it is called a zipper merge when done correctly....
90% of these people should have their licenses taken away cause they are too crazy on the road. Self driving cars can’t come out fast enough to deal with these issues.
Same here, retired OTR.......I went 35 years and millions of miles without killing or injuring anyone........I live in a small town now and I have NO URGE to go anywhere at all! A couple weeks ago, someone honked their horn. Heads turned and I heard someone say, "Tourist."
Seeing those two cops on horseback @ 12:22 reminded me of an encounter I had with an officer riding a horse. Let me explain. As I stated in my previous comment, I live in St. Louis, MO. Many years ago, I was in the neighboring city of St. Charles. It was the downtown district with many small shops and brick-paved roads near the Mississippi River. With it being a cool crisp day I had my window rolled down. While at a stop sign, a cop on horseback comes up beside me. Next thing I know I am gasping for air. The officer leaned over and asked me if everything was O.K. I responded "No. Your horse just farted." While laughing, the cop pats the horse on the head and says "Good boy." I then asked the officer, "Are horse farts the new way of fighting crime?"
Driving until the end of the lane before merging in a “zipper” is the most efficient way to use the lane space. It requires everyone to play along though, alternating between lanes at the merge point.
7:51 Any cop or traffic control expert will tell you that it is always more efficient to merge at the end of the merge. Both of those lanes should have been full all the way up to the point where it reaches the cones. FACTS!
The person in that merging video where he passed all the idiots in line is 1000% correct. People don't know how to freaking merge using the zipper...drives me insane
The one where the lady just jumped out of her car and walked, and the car kept going. The story behind that one is that there was a spider in her car. lol Every time I see that video clip, I always laugh so hard. lol
7:57 @Akimbo , (Google this out) Depends on the State. That actually DOES look like it is set up to be a "Zip Merge lane" where you are REQUIRED BY LAW to go to the cones to merge and merging is SUPPOSED to be 1:1. For that reason, they do NOT put up markers stating "Right lane ends in X feet"...because they actually expect traffic t work properly. Technically--I'd not do it that way, if I knew that lane was ending (like it had been like that for a day or two...)
Was going to say the same. The "a-hole" may be the only one doing it correctly. Of course, I'd do it incorrectly, because I don't want everyone mad at me.
Here in germany it is also the rule to drive until the end of the lane and then merge one by one. During the rushhour, than the experienced drivers are on the way it works perfectly.
@@Nathan-lu2zz Nope thats not stupid, if all stay in their lane until the end and they let the other lane pass alternately, it is very effective and satisfiing, but if you have this type of people: You will not pass!!! Because do did not change the lines 1 mile before like me! It does not work.
@@floriflorensen4252 it is stupid because everyone has to slow down to let you in if your in the lane that ends, if you know your lane ends then get over before hand. But that’s only if your a decent human being if not then there is no helping you 🤷♂️
07:59 this is how you're actually supposed to join traffic. It has been proven to move all traffic faster, for some reason in the U.S we just wait in a long line unlike all other countries.
3:20 this happened to me a couple days ago someone was pulling out of a parking lot and did not see me being right there on the main road. Luckily no one was in the other lane so I was able to swerve around their car and avoid any collision
I live in St Louis, MO. The guy @ 9:16 is something that most drivers I see do quite regularly around here. I have seen some come damn near the middle of the intersection thinking that the light will change more quickly.
People always talk about that miracles do NOT excist. I mean most of the drivers you see in such comps are some miracle in "how the fuck did they not die trough the process of growing up" 🤣
Wouldn’t work. I was hit dead on by a woman with a doctorate degree because she needed to clean the passenger floor, while driving, because her purse spilled when she pulled out of a parking lot. Disabled for life from it.
@@nepasuperscenters8783 She should've pulled over then picked up her stuff. Or fastened the top of her purse to keep things from falling out. Sorry that happened to you. My youngest sister has been T-boned twice by idiots who felt they had the absolute right to blow a red light. She's partially handicapped, but manages to own her own business with 3 other people. She started life with chronic ear problems, now she has chronic back problems.
At 8:00, the driver in this video cut it as close as close could cut it, which DOES feel dickish, but otherwise is completely fine and legal. Encouraged, even, since experts have said that zipper merging lets traffic go faster overall and reduces jams. As USA Today has said... "Drivers, you're merging all wrong: Being polite is causing traffic jams" *Edited for timestamp
The one with the white car just pulling left out into traffic is here. And the driveway is the Walmart parking lot, and it happens often there. I had to swerve into oncoming a few times from people just gunning it out that entrance. Also the one before that is Sportsworld drive, another crazy road.
Re Porsche. A friend asked me to drive their Porsche to a service station. I had to take the freeway to get there. The speed limit was 100 kms, I honestly thought i was doing 60 miles an hour or 100 kmh. I was way wrong. Yup, i was driving 100 MPH. Porsches are frighteningly gluey to the road. (Took me all of 10 minutes to figure out it was not go slow day.)
Many see this as entertainment, i see these videos in horror. How can a whole country allow such bad drivers on the road? Maybe its to easy to get a drivers license in the states? But i guess thats why usa has some of the highest death and accident rates in the world. 😢
The zipper method is the correct way to change lanes where a lane ends. Stopping sooner only creates congestion.
Correct. That’s what the Drivers handbook tells you.
Creator of this video, you are wrong, and the zipper method is the correct way to merge
The reporter saying it’s a dangerous street right before that crash had me ROLLING 😂
1:17 Voiceover- "This truck driver clearly decided to save money by not getting a reverse beeper" , as reverse beeper is clearly beeping.😂
Ai gonna Ai.
he meant inside the truck, there is a beeper that tells you when you are really close to something. Ever heard of a proximity alarm?
I love the random Skyline in the middle of the comp haha
7:50 it is the proper way to merge called zipper merge.
Reduces differences in speeds between two lanes

Reduces congestion on freeway interchanges

No whoever has the right of way goes and if you’re merging then you do it at the proper time as to not wreck or disrupt flow of traffic
@@ebancormier5046nah, you drive till the end off the lane, and then merge. Its even a law, at least here where I live
The zipper *is* the most efficient way to merge lanes, it’s not even debatable. The problem is, for the zipper to work, everyone has to be on the same page. It rarely goes that smoothly in real life.
At 8 Minutes. This is the law in Germany. Drive until the lane ends. Perfectly done.
This method (zipper method) is also the endorsed way to merge during heavy traffic in U.S. as well....problem is most drivers do not understand that 🙄
Same in England, people just seem to forget
It´s the same i Denmark
Same in the UK, but all the morons that don't know how to drive don't bother with it.
Its law in Holland to, and the drivers actually do it. everyone gets through quicker when they do it too.
7:55 perfectly legit, legal and proper merge, you don't merge a mile back, you merge at the point of merging lanes, where the lanes technically come together and then it is called a zipper merge when done correctly....

While I absolutely agree, I also believe that with or without a license or insurance, they would still drive a vehicle.
Akimbo:"How can we get people to watch our videos?"
Chad:"Just put a girl wearing yoga pants in EVERY thumbnail."
I'm not watching this channel anymore
lol, so very very true
That woman who got out pf her car and let it drive away actually got out because there was a bee in her car.
Who wouldn't do the same
so it makes sense for her to just hop out and place other drivers at risk? it’s only a bee just leave it alone.
@@aczig They didn't make any judgements about the situation, they just stated the fact, of course no one should do the same thing...
Like,my house is burning down, im in my room the firefighters tell me to jump out the window but, theres a bee there so id rather burn
@@bluediamondzx8044 lol. Bees or Flames.
Great question!!
7:34 Nissan skyline gtr r34 😱😱😱
justa regluar GT not a gtr but is a r34
Who else thought the clip with the long ramp trailer was going to show someone flying up the ramp!
I'm a retired truck driver. I'm so glad I don't have to put up with that type of BS on a daily basis anymore.
I'm gonna say y'all ain't innocent of this kinda stupid sheet either.
FACTS!
i got out few years ago as well. it gets worse every year it seems now I don't have to deal with it every day at least.
Same here, retired OTR.......I went 35 years and millions of miles without killing or injuring anyone........I live in a small town now and I have NO URGE to go anywhere at all!

7:31 the NISSAN R34 GTR
As a retired Paramedic after 35 years of service, I can tell you that entitled drivers that refuse to yield to our lights and siren was a daily thing.
Got to love the "ONE BLINK WONDERS"
7:57 that is how you are supposed to merge so that traffic flows
yup, its the fastest. but some idiots doesnt understand that its legal to do what the guy in the video did and roadrage.
Thank you, I am amazed watching these wonderful moments

@@colbornfarms4849 It's not wrong.
Was I the only one thinking with the pickup/truck/buggie with the long trailer that a car would use teh trailer as a jump?
This driving reminds me of the movie "wolf of Wall Street."😂
See this is how you’re supposed to drive in wild lands in ghost recon😅
The person in that merging video where he passed all the idiots in line is 1000% correct. People don't know how to freaking merge using the zipper...drives me insane
Same here. And ever time its mentioned, you have idiots trying to debate it. They need to research before chiming in with stupid opinions...
The closed lane merger thing? That is actually the correct way to do it.
"Someone should call the police!"
Says the bloke filming the entire episode unfold on his phone....🤪

Sometimes I wonder HOW these people get there license and who allows it😂😂😂
You sure they've even got a licence?

His entry method is correct. A zipper entry in round a bouts
Narration too cute
love your videos
Merge in turn, correct way to do it, keeps traffic moving better if everyone let's one person in
"Truck didn't get reverse beeper" clearly heard beeper beeping in video.
Nice video 🎉
looks like every day in Las Vegas
1:10 car 1: hi wat up car 2: wat the dog doing,cars 3: eh
Damn I feel like AFV just got an update😂
nice video
4:27 I thought someone was getting out not the driver lol
7:33 the R34 ❤
0:55 yeah I think I’m starting to see it
Nice
7:33 Nissan skyline just existing xD
I swear people just lose common sense when driving near a semi truck. It’s ridiculous

And getting thousands more drivers crossing the border every day.
love the vids man
why do i feel like im watching people in my town lmao
Lol that reversing car was probably in cancun. It looked like hotel zone. Was there for just a week and i saw this about 5 or 6 times.

8:01 is absolute correct to go to the end to merge. It’s called zippering. People are just mad they didn’t know about it.

It's not "the emergency lane". It's not a lane at all. It's the shoulder! And is NOT for driving on at all... It's not a traffic lane.
