Are you allowing enough space in front of you for cars to merge in without wedging themselves in front of you?

That's the worst problem I see around here -- cars in the freeway running bumper to bumper, and then a block of 3 or 5 cars also running bumper to bumper trying to force their way in, but none of the cars really leave enough room for a smooth merge, so the cars on the freeway end up hitting the brakes when the merging cars force their way in.

Yes. I'm guessing because drivers are so used to "forced merging", they don't know what to do when they have an appropriate amount of space.
