I take your point, but if the driver in front is a "big truck that cover the view," then that is all the more reason not to pull into the other lane! This is probably the most dangerous time to attempt this sort of merge. >What if the driver is constantly breaking and accelerating? I've found that there are two general strategies that work well in this situation. - Simply increase distance and wait longer to catch up to the driver in front of you. This accounts for their bad driving. - Modulate your speed using the car in front of the car in front of you. ie, focus on the 2nd car in front of you. They're likely driving with the flow of traffic properly and won't constantly be accelerating and braking. It might sound unintuitive to focus focus on a car other than the one in front of you, but this can actually be more safe: You've made enough space between yourself and the car in front you to avoid an accident, and you're better prepared for when the actual braking will occur.
