    I always do. The people who don’t will not be convinced by a bumper sticker I’m afraid. They don’t see transportation as a cooperative effort.

      If you’re predictable and not being a moron ppl will let you merge. Its only those assholes who try to merge at the last minute that ppl don’t let it.

        In most cases, merging as late as possible would be most efficient, because it utilises the max amount of street surface.

          This would be great if waiting to the last second didn’t result in cutting people off, forcing them to slow down as you essentially “cut in line”.

        This certainly depends on the area’s driving culture. But yes. When I merge I aim to not make anyone hit their brakes to accommodate me. Keep it flowing smoothly and we all succeed.
