I’m kinda tired of merging on the Interstate behind people that don’t know how to merge.
People, the merge lane is also known as the acceleration lane. That means that if 5 lane wide traffic is coming at 65mph, you need to be at 65mph when you merge. So get on your accelerator, and freaking GO GO GO!
Every day on the way home from work, I have to merge onto I24 towards Nashville. There’s someone in front of me EVERY day, merging onto 5 lanes of traffic rolling at 65mph+, and they never merge at over 50mph. It’s a very dangerous situation.
Donna gives me shit about really hitting the gas when merging onto the Interstate. That’s how Dad taught me, and that’s how I’m gonna do it. I’m convinced it’s safer than maintaining a 15mph slower speed limit when merging.
That’s all for now. I’m heading out for sushi at PM’s in Nashville. It’s pretty dang good for what it is.
