Not only Karen. I see this all the time, people do NOT know how to merge safely. If your lane ends, it's up to you to safely merge into the through lane, it's not up to the people in the through lane to make space for you.

This is a philosophical argument on whether zipper merge is what we want. It requires a spirit of cooperation, a conceptual understanding and consideration for all drivers on the road.

Studies show that when this is done properly there are far fewer delays, disruptions or accidents

Unfortunately it only takes one or two people to screw it all up, and they often do.
