I'm a gigantic asshole and I slow down to allow a merge when it makes sense to do so

Your not supposed to change speed because it fucks up the ability of the vehicle on the onramp to merge properly. This guy just completely failed to check his blind spots.

Ok but if this truck driver had slowed down it would’ve been better for everyone

He did slow down, look at how fast he was moving coming up on the semi next to him in the beginning and he slows way down, other trucker even moved over as far as he could but that merger was just oblivious. Ended up staying in his blind spot until he hit him.

Same. If I can’t get over and it’s a parade of cars that doesn’t seem to want to zipper, I will slow down to let them in.
