I hate getting stuck behind someone who doesn’t know how to use a highway on ramp. You know the kind, the ones who are only going 60 km/h trying to merge with traffic going 120. You are supposed to speed up to the same speed as the cars on the highway so you can easily merge. —For Oh One

True. Valid bitch
Rule #1…Don’t be caught on ramp behind a slow driver.
it’s very dangerous, i’m in second at the top of the ramp, not cool
I learned this from Goofy on a cartoon show about how to use freeways.
A less taught, but more important driving skill is mastery of one’s emotions. When you let yourself be annoyed by other drivers, you become more error prone yourself. So think of it as a challenge to your own driving skills. After all, we all know there’s lot’s of low-skill drivers out there, so it’s no surprise when crazy stuff happens.

There are a lot of places that don’t allow you to get that kind of speed or they are a ten foot weaving lane. Otherwise, I agree.
I hate the places that aren’t even merge lanes but people stop anyway. Heading west where North runs into Chebucto is a perfect example.
Why do old fuckers always drive Buicks?
Basil , maybe the braking feels smoother to them …or the braking system holds up to driving with your foot on the gas & bake pedal ?!?
Ramps are for jumpin.
