    You are the worst, please don’t drive.

    And if that was the lesson you got on day 1 of your drivers education, go ahead and shoot your driving teacher, before he can spreas more nonsense. This might save a few lifes.

      It makes sense when merging onto a highway.

      If it’s busy and everyone else is zooming by, merging at a slower speed is dangerous. Speed up, match the flow (even if speeding), merge, then you can ease off to whatever speed you want. This is what I was tought in drivers’ ed, and it makes sense.

      Once you’re on the highway though, yeah, it doesn’t apply anymore.
