The scariest part for me is being on a 4 lane with merging on ramp traffic and no left lane gap to get over. Most drivers have no idea how to match speed and merge.
How very true. I cannot count the number of times someone comes down the on ramp, ends up next to me and then MATCHES my speed as they nonchalantly cruise along. Seems like everytime that happens, I have traffic streaming by my left side.
People need to learn how to merge or quit driving on the freeway.

X3 see this almost every day going to work, getting on the e-way and there is usually some dimwit going 35 on the on ramp as traffic is going 65-70 on the e-way. Then yep they come to a complete stop at the bottom of the on-ramp.
My DD had this happen to her and hit the lady in the rear. The Toledo cop sited both of them, my DD for assured clear distance and the lady (in her forties) for impeding traffic.
