Traffic merging onto the freeway

Rarer but most obnoxious to me are ones who drive up the ramp, parallel to your car the whole time, and merge right into you when the lane ends. Somehow, they expect you to get out of their way. Beiotch, I'm already here. You're the one merging. Speed up or slow down but don't just drive into my door.

Long ago, when I was learning to drive, the state pamphlet said that as you approach an onramp, if you're in the slow lane, don't change lanes and don't change speed. Changing lanes creates traffic issues (and more wrecks). Changing speed makes it confusing for those merging. If you are the one merging, accelerate smoothly up the ramp. Find the safest spot to take and adjust your acceleration to take that space.

Merging should be in the driving test, and it should be difficult.

It always seems to be a Prius !

It's been going on since long before those abominations showed up.

At least in Bellingham. Or a Subaru.
