you do if the guys in the nearside lane are nose to tail at 70 mph,
other than decelerate gently in the hard shoulder. I wish that you
experts would come up with a solution.

When it's really busy, occupy the side of the slip road closest to the
traffic, match speed with the traffic, and aim for about 3/4 of a car-
length ahead of where you want to end up - that seems to give people
enough time to realise that you're going to pull in ahead of them no
matter what, and they'll back off enough to create a gap for you to slide
into.

Or... big pointy blades mounted on the wheels, like chariots used to
have? :-)
