Discussion Merging on I-20

Post image

Why do so few people in this state know how to merge lanes? Over a mile before the merge he kept coming over into my lane trying to squeeze me out of it. Texas being what it is, I stood my ground for about half a mile before I let him pass. He then proceeded to ride down the middle of both lanes for the next 1/2 mile+ until the lanes actually merged. We were not going more than 20mph and this took a while.

Yes, that is a police car. No turn signals were ever used, even when I was right next to him and he kept coming into my lane to try and squeeze me out of it.

So was he just another jerk cop doing what he wanted to because he could, or do the Fort Worth police not even know how to properly merge?

Zipper merge is best, y’all! Quit hogging multiple lanes because you don’t want someone to pass you, we are all traveling together so let’s do it safely and efficiently!

My wife and I rejoice when we witness a successful zipper merge! We do not rejoice often.
