    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.
