The AB highway traffic act says that the person driving on the road being merged onto has to take reasonable precautions to allow the merging vehicle to merge safely.
I often see people pacing the merging car and not letting them get in safeley. Sure there are people who dont know what theyre doing when they are merging but just as many dont know how to let someone merge. If ou let them zipper in, traffic moves faster overall.
Too many people believe they own their lane space and are determined not to let anyone get ahead of them.

He needs to adjust to my speed and merge accordingly. If he would have sped up he easily could have merged in front of me or if he slowed down, he could merge behind me. Don't pace me though and expect me to do your merging for you.
