What is the obligation of the motorist in the far right lane in regard to another vehicle merging from the onramp to his right Maintain current speed or try to accommodate the merging auto?
If a collision happens it will most likely be the fault of the one merging because those on the freeway have the right of way. However, for safety, and courtesy, the driver on the freeway should try to move a lane over to the left, if he cannot, then he should adjust his speed to help the merging driver.
What if the other car speeds up to try to prevent you from getting on the freeway?
It's an aggressive and dangerous move. The vehicle in the lane of travel, however, does have right of way, and you as the merging vehicle are required to yield right of way. If need be, back off. There are times you might even have to come to a stop before merging onto the freeway. If you do something in that instance which ends up causing an accident, you - as the merging driver - are the one most likely to be placed at fault.

A truck hit you while merging into your lane?
If you are in a lane, you own it. You are not required by law to accept anybody into your lane, no matter what. It is their job to find an opening, and merge safely. That's what's tough about getting on the freeway, or merging when a lane ends. You need to wait until somebody lets you in. If they honk at you because they thought you should have let them in, they should learn how to merge. It is a kind gesture if you slow and let them in, but you do not have to! So, you are in the right. They should yield the right of way to you.
