In nearly every state, people on the highway have right of way, and are in no way required to speed up, slow down, or pull over to let you merge onto the highway. It is your responsibility to gain or maintain a speed that allows you to merge into traffic.

Then pull over and let them by? Your turn signals and steering wheel worked enough to get you on the highway, they can be used to pull over, let someone by, and then pull back over if needs be. Pick up the phone and dial 911 if someone is being an asshat.

Salem is where the witch trials took place, but Danvers (was called Salem Village) is actually where the most of the persons involved lived and where most of the hysteria was centered around. Danvers doesn't hype the connection, and is hardly a poor town.
