I think the merge thing is a chicken-or-egg sitation.
I started moving over to the left lane BECAUSE nobody understands what "yield" means.
I don't mind adjusting my speed down a little with with a slower car that's well ahead of me coming onto the highway.
But if it's closer - or when the nose of their car is behind the nose of my car - it's TOTALLY up to them to slow down a notch to merge on behind me.
It's so easy to understand, yet, NOBODY in the state of massachusetts does that. It ALWAYS turns into some kind of contest.
People are just so ignorant, I've found it's not even worth giving them the benefit of the doubt - just pull into the middle lane and hope they're not one of the many COMPLETE idiots who fear being in the right lane because it's the "slow lane" - and accelerate as fast as possible over to the left lane.
In fact - you might be as surprised as was when I did it - ask people you know what the yield sign means, and I guarantee a surprsing number of them actually believe the sign is for the person on the highway.
