Merging onto an Interstate

Get up to speed asap...but I have found that most people change lanes to get out of my way.

Get it up to hwy speed as quickly as possible, pay close attention to the traffic in the lane you are merging into, blinkers on.........

About this time I look over at GF, grin and say......"Hope they get out of my way"

For "punch it"

I will never own a vehicle that can't get out of its own way, even when I'm towing. In Kalifornia that is the only option.

Lots of caution and copious use of mirrors.

California has a lot of controlled access onramps. You must make a full stop at the light before being given access to enter the Freeway. A real bummer for RVs and big rigs. Since you really don't have enough room to "punch it" I just move forward with my RV and car in tow...so far I have found a hole, even if I get an occassional horn...I just wave and say thank you.

Like John said and like you do anyother time you enter the interstate. Punch hard enough to get up to speed before needing to merge then just slide in. Not a big deal but you can't be afraid of using the throttle.

That's the time to remove the egg from the pedal and punch it. Getting up to Interstate speed before merging makes it much easier.

I always think about Hans Solo telling Chewy to "punch it".
