Die die cannot slow down and give way one!
Drivers usually refuse to give way to lane changes owing to "the fear of losing out" mentality, where letting another car into our lane is seen as our losing time or position. This behaviour is driven by selfish, aggressive driving cultures, such as proactively speeding up to close gaps when a signal is used and a lack of patience and empathy on congested roads.I fail to see the whole point in not giving way. The car in front already signaled early, and there’s a safe distance to slow down a little to allow the car in front to change lane.

The problem is that the driver who slows down and gives way expects at least "a wave of gratitude" from the driver signalling to come in. This often does not happen, so the party who gave way won't be so gracious in future.Merging car already signal , can just slow down.

The problem Is psychological. To the driver on the lane, he has right of way and wants to enforce that right. No way will He surrender. To surrender means losing.I fail to see the whole point in not giving way.
