I will let you merge if you’re going the same speed as traffic. If you treat the on-ramp like a school zone, I don’t want you in front of me you nuisance.
Though to be fair, people going significantly faster than the lane next to them aren’t much better. If you want to go fast, move left. Almost every day on my commute, I need to speed up to like 70 to merge, slow down to 60 to move left, then back up to 70 to move left again.
I think we should enforce a “no passing on the right” law, as well as a “no holding up traffic” law. If you’re going slower than the flow of traffic, or if you get frustrated with the person in front going slower than the speed of traffic, you should get a ticket. That would probably solve both problems if enforced consistently. But instead, police enforce speed limits, which isn’t really the root of the problem. I haven’t really seen people lose control and cause a massive pileup, usually it’s someone hitting a car they’re not expecting to be there (technically their fault, but the law is poor here); it would likely be avoided if you only could expect faster traffic on the left and slower traffic on the right.

People that merge going slower than traffic only to speed up AFTER they have forced traffic to either slow down or speed up to pass are monsters.
