What can be more annoying than getting stuck in traffic on the highway… Whether due to construction or an accident, as soon as the lane is blocked, it’s a disaster! However, there is a technique that facilitates movement even in such difficult conditions. Too bad some of these drivers don’t follow this at all…

Stopped for no reason…

Thanks to this biker’s camera, you can easily see that some cars block completely one of two rows of vehicles. And it’s not for nothing that they stand in limbo, trying to find a place among the next line! Which creates an even bigger traffic jam… It was in order to avoid such a situation that the so-called “lightning” technique was developed.

A simple technique, sometimes even mandatory!

The zipper is very simple: the car driving in the left lane must pass the car driving in the right lane, exactly where the two lanes meet. Not one more, not one less and especially not earlier! Just like lightning. Thanks to this, all vehicles are constantly moving, which saves time. In some countries, such as our Belgian neighbors, it is even mandatory under threat of a fine! Of course, there is always something more efficient, such as a motorcycle…
