If you can see them approaching, don't you try to immediately make space for them?
You probably do, know I do. Some people do make it hard, but when I see merging traffic (as I'm usually in the right lane unless passing), I start trying to make a space for them.
Do if I can - I practice the SMITH system of driving. Drilled into my head when I got my CDL 17 years ago but there isn't always room - particularly as we're on year 3 of a 10 year construction project in this town on 41. (give or take)
Point is - don't do 35/40 up the ramp and simply move over because I GUARANTEE if you pile into someone - you're at fault.
