Can't let this one go.
When driving my motorhome or pulling a big trailer I usually am going 10 mph or more BELOW the posted speed limit. So I will stay in the right lane to not hold up faster traffic. However when I am at an on ramp and there is someone attempting to merge I WILL NOT move over into the left lane if there are vehicles coming up who are going much faster than me. Here is what happens: Once I'm in the left lane the faster cars will usually go around the right side of me which puts the merger in a dangerous situation since he's not going the speed limit right away. Then I get stuck in the left lane going slower than the traffic and have a hard time getting back over. And have a bunch of PO'ed drivers going around my right side. So basically if I don't pull over for you to merge get over it, especially since it's not my job to let you in! It's your job to safely enter the traffic flow.
IOW don't expect that someone will get out of your way to let you merge.
Well said! I have the same issue when pulling my trailer. I am amazed at the number of cars entering a highway that don't seem to grasp this simple concept.
Even when just driving the car, I tend to stay in the right lane, and it STILL is not my job to make room for you!
