By driving defensively, Mr. Wang. 
How on earth did you allow yourself to be put in a postion where a
Semi could sideswipe you? Never happened to me.

As as far as being T-boned in the snow goes, don't your realize that
stopping becomes problematic on slippery services? You felt you had
the right of way because you had the green. You;d have been better
served paying attention to the other drivers on the road, and less
concerned with your turf battles.

In the first place, it was more like 14 seconds than 30. My mistake.
But in answer to your question, I have no problem merging, but  then
I'm not going over 127 mph trying to squeeze into a space of about one
car length either. Get the fact right, friend.
