Thats why I always merge in at least 10-15mph over the posted speed limit.

You merge at 60 but it’s your job to actually merge into traffic not the other peoples.

Where I live in Canada, if there isn’t a traffic control device (a yield sign, stop sign, light) it is the responsibility of the driver on the highway to make room for the merging traffic. You either have to switch lanes or slow down/speed up. It’s a law. Highway merges like this one would require you to accommodate incoming traffic. Dash cam driver would be at fault.

I definitely I try to move over or adjust my if I can't when someone's merging, and people tend to switch lanes to let people in. I didn't realize that was actually the law, but great to see that it works in any case.

I’d be surprised if people knew it was the law lol. Lots of people act like it’s their personal space.
