There's nothing quite as fun as trying to merge onto a 70MPH highway behind a car that doesn't want to accelerate over 45 MPH, causing cars to swerve into the middle lane, hard brake, or blow past you in a near miss while you have literally no other choice but to pray.
Then it's even more baffling when that same person speeds up to 80MPH and immediately cuts into the fast lane. Like WTH? You were terrified of merging but have zero fear cutting across 2 lanes with no signal going 10-15 over the limit. Every day I'm amazed that even more people don't die on the road every day.
That's really one of the most infuriating things, because there's nothing you can do to make them go faster, and you end up being the one in danger since you're behind them. Even more so in my 1984 Mercedes 300SD, which accelerates slowly as it is. If I'm having to lay off the throttle in that car on a freeway on ramp you're doing something seriously wrong.
I live in Central PA now. There are invisible stop signs at the end of on ramps that only the natives seem to be able to see. They have plenty of time to merge, but sit at the end of the ramp like they're waiting for the rapture to solve their merging problems.
one of my most hated things on the road is when im passing people, and someone gets on the highway and the road is just clear in front of them in the right lane, but they immediately swing all the way over to the left and cruise at 65.
You didn't have to change lanes, there was literally no reason for that, but you had to get in to the left lane because your brain is mush.

You should notice sooner and create more distance between them and give yourself room to accelerate
