I went on a trip yesterday and I tried it, it sure didn't seem to work at all, one person who is stubborn, slow or whatever can mess the whole thing up.

I see it all the time I think, but maybe my standards are low. Often what I see the traffic isn't quite equal in both lanes, so it's not abab, but people see the guy ahead find a space and they pick a space behind the next car and so on. It's there more to it? Like if someone doesn't get it, you just continue the zipper behind them, right?

It doesn't flow well, it's more of a stop and start.
