How to Merge Onto the Motorway

This is for the Bright Britt Series.

Many people in Britain have no idea of how use or how  to merge onto the highway (called the Motorway in Britain)

When you want to drive onto a highway the entrance ramp is about a half mile long and that is for a purpose of gaining enough speed so you won’t block the traffic on the highway.

Many drivers in Britain drives to the end of the merging lane and stops right there.  Putting their turn signal on, waiting for the highway traffic to stop to let them in. The result!!!!  A few accidents just about on a weekly basis.

The way to merge onto the highway is as follows;

At the top of the entrance ramp you press on the gas pedal to start gaining speed and you also turn your turn signal on indicating you want to merge into the highway traffic.  As you drive on the ramp, you look into the mirror or turn your head if appropriate, checking the existing traffic. By the time you reach the bottom of the ramp you should gain enough speed to flawlessly merge.

If a car is coming in the lane you are trying to merge in, you should either add more gas or slow down a bit indicating your intention to the other driver.

If the other driver won’t slow down, you should slow down a little bit and let him pass than merge right after.  Once you are on the highway you should just follow the other cars.

Very important not to stop at the end of the entrance ramp because you can easily cause an accident and get hurt.

If you are unsure of how to drive on the highway than avoid it altogether.

I mean, I dont want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added something to maybe get peoples attention? Just like a video or a picture or two to get people excited about what youve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your blog come to life a little bit.

    1. Hmmmm. Right, Like the other day I was getting onto the highway and this driver would not let me in. So I just inched my way right in front of him and he had no option but but ease onto the other lane than flash his light at me. Jerk! Of course he flipped the birdie just like I did, but hey…. . If you are afraid of the highway, don’t drive on it. Not mandatory.
