If I am going 10 mph faster than traffic on my right and somebody is gaining on me, it's probably safe to say they could be doing 10 mph faster than me. He could be 20 mph faster or more than traffic on his right. In my opinion it's a lot safer and easier for me to get over and merge into traffic than for him.

Or you can just sit there and see what happens. There are a lot of assholes and crazy people on the road. In General I think if you follow the laws of the road and the good law of thinking about other people, you will generally avoid problems like this.

Correct...Rep
