Of course it helps if "faster traffic" knows how to merge... I saw several instances this AM of folks that not only do not seem to know how to merge, they also act as if they are "privileged" and worked hard to try to cut off other drivers as they drove to the "head of the line."
If they are acting that way with motorists, imagine how they would act toward a cyclist "in their way."
At lunch just now, I was seated at a prime location to watch motorists... and one display just floored me... a female motorist that waited for another motorist and then proceeded to chase a ped off the road.
Love to see that kind of "sharing," it reminds me of how wonderful our driving public can be.
