I know in the highway code people on the carriageway have right of way, but just ignoring cars wanting to join and not adjusting my speed seems uncourteous and not what i'd expect from anyone else.

The OP's reading of the Highway Code seems to have been somewhat selective. It does not say that.

What it does say - and has been pointed out on this forum many times - is "The rules in The Highway Code do not give you the right of way in any circumstance, but they advise you when you should give way to others. Always give way if it can help to avoid an incident."

Joining a dual carriageway or motorway from a slip road is an accident waiting to happen. Near here there are almost weekly crashes on the A63 near Brough, the local Facebook crime prevention group even had a post from the police warning to be careful at these slip roads due to the number of crashes.

Some drivers have tunnel vision when joining a dual carriageway. They drive onto the main road regardless of traffic and hope/expect motorists to give way...
