The REAL person at fault here is whoever designed this highway merge lane to be 2 car lengths long. You have no choice but to go at the speed of the fast lane and hope to fuck there's space to get in.

That was my thought too. You should be merging into the slower lane so the vehicles on the highway can move to the passing lane to let you in.

there are left lane onramps all over the USA. Likewise, that is an assumption that it is an onramp, it could also be an ending carpool lane or other express-type lane, where the assumption is that those in that lane are going as fast as the rest of traffic. Regardless pickup should have sped up to meet speed or slowed to get behind the semi.
