It really does function better (and faster) when everyone just does the right thing. Thailand is filled with "me first, me only" drivers and this not only results in bad accidents but it has an overall detriment on the ability for anyone to get anywhere in a timely fashion. It's impossible to get people to understand this though when there is basically zero enforcement of any sort of road laws in Thailand. That would be step one. If there are no consequences for driving like a dickhead, or even driving one-eyed drunk, people are not going to change their behavior.
I think the zipper merge is a perfect example of this. If done properly, it is so efficient, but people don't like the idea of someone racing ahead of them and all of that. Especially with the increase in road rage incidents lately, we really need to take human emotion out of the equation. If I had all the money in the world I would hire a driver and let them deal with it.
