One of the humor threads had this...
"You will hit every cone on the highway before I let you merge in front of me because you saw that sign 2 miles ago like I did."
...which touched off a pet-peeve.
The highway designers and construction management services plan for and require a zipper-merge for best traffic flow. Zipper together people or you are the problem not the "inconsiderate aggressive a-hole" saying in the ending lane up to it's finish.
Here's a link to the MN DOT web page with more explanation: MN DOT Zipper Page
So do it. Be the "a-hole". Unfortunately, until every driver understands, doing it can be dangerous (tripping off road rage) especially on a bike.
