Here's what everyone needs to know. I'm sorry if you were driving on the beach smoking pot the day Mr.T was teaching this in H.S. Drivers Ed. Drivers in the on ramp have the right of way. This because their acceleration lane is limited and ends soon! They are supposed to get up to the speed of the cars on the slow lane, so they can smoothly enter without causing them to hard brake or preferably not at all. It is your duty dear driver already on the highway to examine the on ramps as they come up to your right as you progress down the highway. They are pretty damn obvious usually as you approach them. So you should be thinking "Oh, there's a big-you-name-it that will have to accelerate slow because of it's heavy mass, or there's an especially slow you-name-it looking like by the time I get to his on-ramp I am going to need to accommodate them so they can get on safely and as smoothly as I can create for them. It does not matter if they are in fact going about it in the wrong way and even being timid and slowing up. Not everyone is as clever as you are and they need to get somewhere too. So suck it up damn it and work with them. If they are hesitant create a safe distance that even Wally Cox at his most timid when he was learning to drive would say to himself "I guess it's OK to enter" or better yet get over one lane to try to keep that guy moving! Driving is all about traffic flow in a safe and smooth manner and we all play a big part for the road environment even though we are just driving one vehicle and thinking about how many more reps we will try at the gym today.
Nice. But what about the insanity of having an exit ramp straight after the on ramp? I get nearly wiped out at least once a week coming home from work.
But, while a car are merging is on the freeway... the car should it accelerate 65 MPH on the designated speed limit, or should it YIELD wait look for an empty gap in the mirror and then merge on the next left lane ???
Most of these drivers who cause collisions really dont know what they did wrong. Other just wont admit it. They key is to never tell them what they did wrong...so they wont change their story when the police or litigation begins.
Is there a MERGE sign there or a YIELD sign? I'm assuming MERGE sign because of what you posted but I always question if there's a YIELD sign there as well.
This was great to watch and to learn from in preparation for my next driving expedition. Thanks for the video!

Very interesting I had to watch this a couple of times :)
that was very helpful. thank you.
The cars here in Houston don’t slow down and there’s like little to no space merging space to speed up..
Good lesson.

Nice work there.

Hi, can i use this video as an introduction of on-ramp merging study for my thesis presentation?
Very good video

As long as the vehicle on the highway lets you in, you should be fine right?
Yeah lol but the biggest problem is not everyone is friendly
No narrative, what are we looking at? What lessons to learn?
OK, now lets see it at about 5PM. Bumper to bumper. I ain't lettin you on, F-you, get behind me!!
Well if everyone has that mindset no one will get in 😭
Always watch out for Asian drivers.
