He's pissed at me and says "didn't you see my turn signal". I asked "didn't you see that f'ing sign a few miles back that the right lane was closing?"

That’s one that really pisses me off. Cut off everybody who has already responsibly made their way into the open lane, and then feel entitled that someone should let him in. That’s not how it’s supposed to work because it requires the flow of traffic to stop, zipper merge is when both lanes are still in motion and doesn’t require people to stop. Definite asshat material.

I like the feature on open interstate but it suck in city traffic. Even in the most aggressive setting the ACC leaves too big of gaps and guarantees that you’ll get cut off.
