That's a crappy situation, and unfortunately a common one. By law, it's on your wife. I taught my oldest daughter (20) to slow down on the ramp and make sure the merge lane is clear before she accelerates just because of the number of idiots that drive out to the end of the acceleration lane and then just stop. Mostly elderly.
