I don’t get it. How may hours a year do you think you spend driving? I am going with a ton. So I don’t understand how so many of you people don’t understand the concept of merging.
Lets refresh
1.) The on ramp is used to get your vehicle up to the speed of traffic on the highway. It’s speed limit is not the same as the road you just turned off of to get onto the ramp. It’s speed limit is the same as the Highway you are entering.
2.) Once you have selected a spot to merge into adjusted your speed accordingly not by slamming on the breaks but coasting. It’s a crazy concept I have observed that when you are not accelerating you vehicle it slows down! WOW!
3.) Merge into traffic with out applying the breaks. Remember you are getting on a highway there is no need to break unless some ass in front of you felt the need to and you are about to ram their rear end.
This is way to easy of a task to master and I don’t know how people haven’t. If everyone would do this correctly I see the end of traffic jams as we know it.
Yea, it sucks. Having to negotiate 694/35/94 in the winter makes me want to punch a baby in the face.
The snow falls every year, how do people still suck at driving in it?

Man, NJ was terrible. We got hit by a freak blizzard when I was driving through the state and with like an inch of snow on the roads, people were blowing their cars up or something. Saw a tractor trailer on fire, an accident that looked like one burning car had hit another burning car, and on and on for about a mile of highway. Ridiculous.
