Same Missourians who don’t zipper merge. Or know what that is. Or why they should.

Especially in construction zones. I don’t care what the signs say. Drive to the end and then zipper merge.

Everyone around the world knows how to do this except those in the Ozarks. They merge three miles ahead and then cut anyone off who is trying to drive to the end and merge AS IT SHOULD BE DONE!

I would zipper merge but I know that if I do it the correct way I’m going to be stuck in the construction lane, because nobody lets anyone in.

That works only as long as both lanes have full driver support of that method. Unfortunately like all things that rely on full cooperation on asshole ruins it and sets in motion more doing it different. And if you think people everywhere know how this works you haven't driven far have you? I've seen people mess that up in every state, from Michigan to Texas and To Florida. I've heard west coast ain't much better.
