*it seems most drivers instead of adjusting their speed, would rather pull into a different lane when faced with a merging vehicle. In my driving experience, this seems to be happening EVERYWHERE, not just Chicago. Somehow drivers have lost their ability to gauge the speed of a merging vehichle.
Well, when I took driver's ed many, many years ago, we were taught that it is the responsibility of the person entering the highway to adjust speed and merge. The fact that others think that those on the highway need to adjust speed demonstrates that there is really no rule anymore, and I can understand just wanting to get out of the way.
