Yes, you can and maybe is best to, move to the left lane, but when you have no way to do that, do you slam on your brakes to give the other idiot the right of way???? How many accidents on the freeway are caused by that? Used to have yield signs on the on ramps to remind the "merger" of his responsibilities. Guess the big city drivers don't need to follow the normal, safe practices. Always in a hurry!!!
