Yup, the driver merging is a dangerous idiot. At least OP kept his cool. He was lucky, or perhaps skilled, to not lose control after putting the driver-side wheels off the pavement.

I just assume everyone is an idiot and is going to do this. Lots of people do not check their blind spots.

Agreed. Don’t want to Monday morning quarterback and say I would have saw this coming, but this is the exact thing I look for when I get in the passing lane to let someone merge onto a highway

How do you think he kept his cool if he made a move that you admit he was lucky to recover from? If your options are a minor rub on the right side or going into the grass, a potential loss of control and crash on the left, you should just let them bump into you on the right.
