.... if there is a lot of traffic they may not let you in.
Eh? Like hell...
When the elephant takes a line, walking thru the jungle, the smaller critters don't get stepped on...
When the elephant dithers, well, nobody knows what anyone is doing then.
Take a thoughtful line, solidly held, body language communicates that a trajectory is established, signal is on, and maintain course. They'll let you in, because it is clear there is no choice.
Shy away, you become the meal.
Got to figure, it only gets worse, for both you and some more traffic, if you don't get out there?
Happy coaching!
