    The hard rule of merging is to be going at least the posted speed limit. It's important with students to get the vehicle going faster. Too many drivers are going too slow when they merge onto a highway or freeway.
    Good luck on your road test.

      Hesitate in traffic after merging for a few seconds for safety before finally accelerating? What? The safest speed to merge into traffic is the speed the traffic is already moving. Neither merging faster and slower than traffic is safer than merging at the speed of traffic.
      As in the video that you obviously did not have the attention span to listen to, only drivers of merging can accelerate their own vehicle to match the speed of traffic BECAUSE NO ONE ELSE CAN ACCELERATE THEIR VEHICLES FOR THEM. Surprise! The driving instructor urged the student driver to accelerate to merge with traffic because the instructor could not accelerate the car for her.
      How long have you been merging incorrectly? I suggest you need to schedule some driving instruction to learn how to merge with traffic correctly.
      Hint: That right pedal in your car is the accelerator. Press it with your right foot to accelerate. USE IT THE NEXT TIME BEFORE YOU MERGE WITH TRAFFIC NOT AFTER YOU MERGE WITH TRAFFIC

They can use the right most lane. I use the middle lane. This GREATLY reduces the risk of an accident. I am well aware of placement of pedals in the car. I know what to use them for. I went to driving school. My attention span is very long. I have a four year college degree. Do you ? Remind me not to drive when you and that driving " instructor " are on the road.

      The "YIELD" signs are for the merging traffic to give way to traffic already in the travel lane because the traffic in the travel lane has right-of-way over merging traffic. That is why "YIELD" signs are along highway entrance ramps not along the travel lanes. It is the responsibility of the merging drives to yield to drivers already in the traveling lane.
      What if there is no middle lane? Do you panic if traffic tries to merge?
      Yes, I do have a Bachelor Degree. FYI, I also have a Master Degree. Your punctuation, grammar, and vocabulary are atrocious for someone who claims to have a four-year college degree. Anyone else old enough to have a four-year college degree knows the "YIELD" signs are for the merging traffic.

    I don’t think people actually understand how it is supposed to work. Except for big heavy slow trucks every automobile should be able to accelerate up to the speed of traffic before merging. Yet I routinely see people merge much slower than the speed of traffic and only after they have slowed the freeway traffic down do they then speed up to the speed limit or speed of traffic
