Acceleration Lane

Some people apparently missed the class where they tell you the purpose of entrances onto the highway.  It is not just an entrance, as some people would believe. It is actually known as an acceleration lane, meaning you are supposed to accelerate in that lane *before* merging onto the highway.  You match your speed with the oncoming traffic and then merge in.  You don't piddle down the entrance at 35 mph, merge into oncoming traffic, and *then* get up to speed.  That is a good way to get yourself run over.  If you don't know how to properly drive on the highway, keep to the back roads.  The rest of us will be safer for it.
