You can always just let them pass you and then move over. Even if you miss your exit it's not the end of the world. No one ever got a trophy for forcing a merge, even when they had the right of way.

Besides, this is not an example of where using speed got you out of an unsafe situation. Instead you helped to create the unsafe situation and locked into a contest of egos with another driver, jeopardizing the safety of both of you in the process.

I just chuckle when I hear about the mystical need for power to get out of bad spots. 99.999999% of the time the first thing any of us do when we sense trouble is hit the brake pedal, not the throttle.

My wife of 9 years has intelligence, a wit as sharp as a knife, a sense of humor that keeps me in good spirits, keeps our home impeccably clean, cooks for me and brings me my coffee in the morning... all while having platinum blond hair, big blue eyes, eyelashes so long she has trouble wearing some sunglasses, and a DD chest.

As such I'd say I'm doing just fine in my quest for companionship, and she says she feels safer driving with me than anyone else she's ever ridden with.

I've never needed to. Outside of Hollywood movies things very rarely happen instantaneously... they just appear that way to some folks because they didn't see the warning signs ahead of time. If you pay attention to everything on and near the road, the weather conditions and what other people are doing, it's hard to be surprised.
