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.

Some people say you should aim for the most expensive looking car,
because that's the one the driver will least want denting (even if the
dent is your fault and you are paying, it's still a pain for them to get
the car towed away and repaired).
