There's always a wide range of gaps in stop-n-go traffic. Anything from a car length to 1,000 feet. It's the 1Kft gappers that seem to bring out the crazy in other drivers.
Tangent: how about the drivers that think we should all be merging one entire mile before the merge point and therefore start straddling two lanes in an attempt to prevent passing in the empty lane?
We're supposed to use all the pavement and then zipper merge at the merge point. This would be even easier if traffic would be consistent about gaps.

- jrs235 11y agoI wish people would understand the zipper merge and that people shouldn't form a long line since that pushes the congestion further back possibly through intersection and traffic lights causing gridlock which pushes the congestion to streets going perpendicular to the road with the merge. The problem is people think you're "cutting" if you stay in the non-blocked lane up until the merge point and then won't let you in.
