People who are so timid on the on-ramp that they refuse to merge with heavy, fast-moving traffic. They slow down and slow down, and slow down while they look for an opening, instead of accelerating and just merging.

People will let you merge. It's the law. Plus they value their paintjobs. They'll get out of your way. Just be aggressive!

Now you are parked at the end of the onramp. All the cars behind you are stopped as well. When you finally spot what you think is a large enough break in traffic and accelerate, it will not be fast enough for next car travelling 55 mph in the slow lane. They will have to slam on their brakes, nearly causing a pile-up.

Even worse, I hate being that car in the slow lane, trying to let the timid driver merge, as the law requires me, as they continue to slow down, forcing me to slow down to 5 mph. I'm letting you merge!! Speed up for chrissake!
