I'm sure you won't be surprised at how many right lane drivers appear to be determined to prevent that guy in the onramp from merging. Approaching an onramp I try to move over one lane to allow a merge, if conditions permit. I used to give the oncomers a headlight blink or two (OK, I see you) until a couple of times the right-laner behind me sped up to prevent the merge.

This is where age and experience rule!
If you tromp on the gas and get up to freeway speed going up the ramp, there is no way they can stop you without colliding with you.
Its easy to manuver if you are going the same speed they are. Speed up or slow down just a little and you are in.
