re: #162 CapeCoddah
Damn, that had to hurt for him. Granted I suggest entering a freeway at speed, but one must also make sure there is space to enter. I learned the Detroit method of entering a freeway.
1. Get up to speed by the end of the ramp. Not 45, not 55, be going 70+.
2. Make sure there is enough room to do so. Do not check for space at the last possible second, choose your spot before you are halfway down the ramp.
3. Merge in smoothly and adjust speed to the flow. Do not expect traffic already on the freeway to adjust for you.
