THe merge lanes are to be used to accelerate to the current traffic flow speed which will allow you to merge smoothly into the current traffic.

Parking by school gates, how annoying and irresponsible?


As to when you should merge, this is best determined on a case to case basis. The best time to merge (beginning or end of merge lane) is based on the SAFEST time to merge. As you accelerate up the merge lane, you should have your turn signal on and be looking for the spot to merge and adjust your speed accordingly. Thus you may merge as soon as you the merge lane is adjancent to the main lanes are down the lane a bit in order for the traffic flow that will be behind you to have time to compensate for a new car added to the flow.

Again, the best point to merge... is the SAFEST point. Always keep in mind, that the freeway traffic ALWAYS has the right of way.

Can I safely move a queen size mattress and box spring on top of my car 50 miles? If so, how?

That is exactly what you are "supposed" to do. All those who stop and look around holding up traffic are ignorant of the driving rules and cause accidents as the folks already in the road are expecting you to speed up and get in line. If you don't it creates confusion with the folks already on the highway, and also the folks behind you that are expecting you to "get into line" and move on with traffic. That is why they call them "Merge" lanes as you "merge" with traffic by matching their speed. Common courtesy on the other hand is that the folks on the highway are expected to give you a little slack in speed to let you in and they too are often at fault for not doing so.

at what age do you have to start paying for a child to travel on a bus?

This would depend on the amount of traffic and the speed at which it was traveling.Just because you got the entire lane to merge into the highway doesn't necessarily mean you need to use the road until it ends. Hit your turn signal and move over when you can. You might not get another chance.

Speed up and merge as soon as you can

why are my tires so loud when i drive straight and go quiet when I turn right?

The correct way to merge is to gain speed while you are on the onramp, get to the speed limit, and when the line is dotted or open, you should be able to merge. The second part is that we are required to allow others to merge into our lane, that is the tricky part, some drivers don't think anyone should get in front of them, so they make it difficult for you.

Why do people feel the need to have their fog lights on when it's just dark out and there's no fog?

Left Turn in an Intersection - Tell me WHY?!?

Hell yes you should speed up and merge as soon as humanly possible and whatever you do DO NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP!! I lived in the north most of my life and recently moved to the south. For some reason, the mental midgets down here seem to think that "yield" means "stop" and if it weren't for all the other retards who think "yield" means "stop" there would be accidents all the time. I actually had some stupid "C word" stop in front of me at a yield and just sat there, not using the merge lane at all, until she felt it was right for her to pull into traffic, as if she were taking a right turn. I followed her dumb a s s all the way to Wal-Mart and yelled at her. I was right behind her in the merge lane, and I had at least ten cars behind me, all waiting for the dumb t w a t to pull her head out of her a s s. I was furious and if she had caused me to be rear ended, I would have sued her.

How can I prevent my car from theft ?

You should match the speed of the other traffic as quickly as possible and merge as early as possible. Waiting until the end of the merge lane leaves you few options if anything goes wrong.
