Sounds like the Prius I followed onto the highway today. Only he had no problem making the gap in traffic. It was I, the car behind, that had a difficult time merging into traffic. Even a gap in traffic that starts off fitting several semi-tractor trailers will dwindle down to nothing if you're doing 10 mph slower than the prevailing speed and make no effort to accelerate and match it. Who gets onto a highway and dawdles along at 50 mph?
