Taught my neighbor the two lane merge after a fender bender on Main St
I used to think everyone just needed to zipper merge correctly, then Sarah backed into a parked car trying to avoid a guy who refused to let her in. Now I get it, the problem isn't the merge, it's that half the drivers think it's a race to the cone line. Has anyone found a way to signal 'I'm going to let you in' without making the guy behind you insane?

That bit about "a race to the cone line" is dead on, people treat the open lane like a prize to be won. A traffic cop told me once that letting someone in costs you maybe two seconds, while a wreck costs you an hour of paperwork. The trick he suggested was a quick wave through the mirror and then you just go, since waiting too long is what ticks off the guy behind you.
