Thought I would share this one with you from today.

To me its pretty obvious that the little Toyota that pulls in (without looking) in front of my car was supposed to have yielded. Am I wrong? The drive seemed to think she/he was in the right.

http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/roadcode/about-driving/merging.html

Both cars have a responsibility here, the merging vehicle must match speed and merge "like a zip" in a safe manner if need be  further adjusting speed to allow this . The car in dual carriage lane should adjust speed to allow the merging vehicle to enter safely.




Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

Look at the very beginning of the video. The Toyota is visible in the windscreen of the OPs car. That was the moment the OP should have slowed to allow the merge.
