Very good video. As someone wanting to get a DL I find merging lanes to be the scariest.

Now, combine that with the evil left hand merge We have a couple of those here. The entrance ramp is uphill around a sharp curve as well. The acceleration lane pretty much drops off into a bridge abutment.

So to recap, short acceleration lane, uphill around a sharp curve, merging into the fast lane with traffic moving at 65+ mph. Now add big rigs to the equation.

I use this ramp daily. Had way too many close calls there.

LOL, if one is scared of there car, and the cars that surround them. Please get off the road. Public transport is the safest option for all fellow countrymen.
