that an on-ramp leading to a highway does not have a stop sign at the end of it, so you shouldn't stop and wait untill there is a space for you to pull out. an on-ramp is so you can pick up speed and merge onto the highway. also, when merging you merge into the closest lane, not the one 2 lanes over.

i was stuck behiend some ***** who a) stopped and b) jumped into the lane 2 over from the proper lane. i was not happy, infact, i laid on the horn to let her know i wasn't happy and she should get a move on before i go around her.. she got the message and i got into the nearest lane and ended up passing her shortly after.

That ******* pisses me off.

Those people going about 15mph on an on-ramp to one of the busy interstates in america.. and they wait until it is clear..

I hit the on-ramp going 70-80 and hope to god there is room for me to merge.

I mean, the people usually get over when they see someone coming down.. or speed up/slow down one to let you on..

I forgot you are in the US, I was going to lecture you on how you're meant to take the safe approach and that stopping is advised in busy hours... Only in America :P

Stopping just slows down traffic, as you have to pick up speed on the interstate instead of the on ramp.

I never slow down when I verge onto the motorway I just go with the flow normally cars already on the motorway either slow down themselfs and let me on or.. pull over into the fast lane its just common courtesy. I think slowing down to like 15 mph then having to speed back up once you find a gap is more dangerous tbh

Same... I mean I know there are times when you should go a tad bit slower (heavy rain.. I'm not going over 55-60 in the rain, it's just common sense not to fly down the highway under low visibility.

I usually go 70-75. Depends on what car I'm in really. If I'm in my truck.. 70.. or if I'm in my car I usually go around 75-80 normally, as it's a speed demon ;P

But some old(er) people go like.. 50.. the entire time.. :| I'm like.. go the **** on!

I usually set my cruise control at 70 because it seems like a comfortable speed for the interstate. I know in the 745, I honnestly don't realise how fast I'm going because the engine is so powerful and the cabin is so quiet, so the noise the engine in my Accord might make at 75, the BMW will make a noise like it at around 100.. it's really easy to speed in it!

I've had some scary times where the truck didn't see me, and tried to get over in my lane.. and there was another truck in front of me.. and another car behind me.. was awful.

lol I HATE people going under limit on big 30 roads.. there's one on the way to work and half the time I can go 50 up it, half the time I'm doing 15 behind some woman in a people carrier

@Americans: do you measure speed in mph or kmph?

Well alot of the time its the choice to either go like 50/60 in the slow or middle lane or to go into the fast lane and go 80 - 100 I normally stick in the fast lane :eusa_whis

I was directing traffic today at a car boot and the amount of people who dont know there left and right!

there was a bit for disabled people to go in so if i sent one down there and told the other to go left they would follow it:|

AND there was this muddy bit where i was stopping cars before they went onto it to tell them not to stop because they will get stuck and not to go left as yes there is spaces there but they wont get out.
Half of them would stop to go left but then realise i said no to this bit and then half would get stuck:|
