For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure it's primarily the responsibility of
the driver entering the highway to accelerate and merge safely.  Yes, common
sense and courtesy would be move left adjust speed etc. as necessary.
Assuming the left lane is open (Just because I'm doing 55 doesn't mean some
in the left lane isn't passing me at 56 or 80!) I'll move left or whatever.
The rule is supposed to be keep right, except to pass.

I get ticked off at the dummy that pulls out onto the highway doing 45
causing me to slow down. Sometimes there's nobody visible behind me for
miles, but he HAD TO  get on in front off me. Then  he slowly decides to
accelerate to 65 over the next several miles.  You either have to learn to
live with it or find alternative transportation.  That's just reality.
