driving poll part 2

[forgotten_aria]

Appologies to my non-driving readers, there really isn't a non-driving example I can think of.

This assumes that the ramp isn't super short and that traffic isn't jammed up and that conditions allow you to accellerate safely. "at slower than highway speeds" means noticiably slower, like <45 on a 65 mph road. The typo in question should be "taught."

My "other" is that it depends on whether there is traffic on the freeway. As in if there are people going fast I'll speed up in order to be going their speed in order to merge in with them. But if the freeway is diverted I'll generally take my damned time because, really, I am just not in a hurry.

I don't think any of your answers are correct. There needs to be some speed differential between you and the first lane of traffic or else you can't adjust your position relative to the cars in that lane. But 20mph is way too much speed differential. At that rate the gaps will zip by you too fast for you to merge in and speed up.
