Alright if I am kind enough to move over and let you off the ramp either pass me or slow and let me back over instead of riding next to me.

I rarely move over for four wheelers. The on and off ramps are for accelerating or decelerating. A car can certainly get up to road speed in the distance the on ramp covers. They can either hit the gas and merge in front or fall in back where they belong. People need to be taught how to drive these days.
I do move for other rigs because they can't get up to speed quickly enough.Chinatown and HalpinUout Thank this. -
If room I'll move, just when it's a 75 and I can do only 65 and you can't pass me there something wrong.

And look in your left side mirror while doing it instead of having you phone stuck in your left ear

Car drivers do need to get more aggressive when they need to enter and exit a major thoroughfare. When I'm in my personal vehicle, as soon as I get on that ramp, my foot is down to get up to highway speed, no matter the length of the ramp. It's not that hard to do as long as you can do it without scaring the crap out of other drivers.
Too many drivers have no clue. There's the odd time where I need to bobtail from one of our terminals to another which I have to take Ontario Highway 401 to get there. There's a pretty good acceleration lane where I have to enter that is long enough that I'm doing 65 in my truck long before I get to the end. And yet, there are some idiots in cars who just lurch out into the traffic stream going slower than the other vehicles. They don't follow my example, they just hang out to my left behind me being dummies. Forget good mileage when it comes to smoothly merging into flowing traffic, and this coming from a lease/op who has to pay for the fuel my truck uses.
