The potential for that kind of scenario makes me appreciate it when a trucker or two begins to straddle two lanes, making it real hard for the guys who want to race up to the very last inch before merging into the only open lane.
I agree. If people are doing a nice, orderly zipper merge, then let it be. If they're racing around like idiots trying to get around the people tailgating in the non-merge lane, then I will straddle two lanes to make sure nobody jumps in front of my truck & fiver and then slams on the brakes.
