UNLESS TRAFFIC IS STOPPED ON THE HIGHWAY, DON'T EVER, NEVER STOP ON AN ACCELERATION LANE. When merging onto a freeway or interstate, you must TOTALLY commit. There is absolutely NO stopping on the acceleration lane. Put your left signal on the on-ramp. As soon as the on-ramp straightens out, get your foot right into the gas pedal and build as much speed as you can before merging out onto the highway. Match the speed of the traffic on the highway. And when you put your signal on, pick you spot on the highway. Aim for that spot and you will merge perfectly every time. Merging onto a freeway is like taking off in a plane: you cannot abort.
Good luck on your road test.

Merging scares me so much ...I avoid those at all cost
We're all afraid of merging. Rick has 20 minute videos where he just merges. More than one. I watched over and over while having my breakfast and it helped a lot. I get out there and merge too.
Nothing to be scared about. If you have your signal on (extremely important) and traveling the highway speed, the car coming up behind you will see you and either slow down to allow you to merge or change lanes. Nobody wants to get into a collision.
It’s easy though people make it scary when they panic
All I do is beat the other person next to me when merging I floor it till I get in front of the car next to me if not then I just stop and wait till all the cars pass or I just get behind the car
@@handlebendover you are not supposed to stop when merging onto a highway. You have to go fast
Great demonstration, but traffic will NOT ALWAYS MOVE FOR YOU, especially on a busy day. Please post or explain what to do when the person cannot move into the passing lane to let you in. To my understanding, the one who's merging is completely responsible for getting on the highway.
Use the shoulder
@@joshuabenjaminscott2365
Certain partway do not have shoulders
Yes please explain this for us inexperianced drivers. What do you do when Cars are bumper to bumper and they can't move over? You can't just stop on there merge lane but if you cause a crash while merging its all your fault? What exactly are the options here? Until I learn better I will literally just stop rather than forcing a merge
@@97Kakarot97 when it is bumper to bumper you honestly have to be a little aggressive and find your spot and move in. During rush hour people are ready to get home so they don’t have time to let you in. Just don’t be reckless though. It is better than stopping
They’re not supposed to move over for you. You’re supposed to be going faster than the traffic. They have the right of way over you.
This is really helpful and looks so simple but I'm still scared to get on the highway
Hi Valeria. - you are most welcome my friend. Drop us a note if we can help further my friend. All the best, Cheers Rick

Punch it Rick! My husband now says this when I'm merging from an on ramp directly onto the left lane of a 2 lane carpool overpass. Love your channel!
Hi Ann B - We're happy to hear we could help out. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
I say confidence is a big thing during driving. Just merge I can't stand when people merge slow just fucking go, your more likely going to get into an accident because your merging slow and get scared. Just merge your car majority of people are going to let you merge. Some people don't I've had a couple insistence where they wouldn't let me merge. But sometimes when it's moving slow I just put my car in there lane I'm coming over like it or not I turned my blinker on letting you know I need to get over so let me over. People just need to learn how to drive be respectful of other drivers, and we gain up on the drivers on the road and bully them. Did that once to with another vehicle asshole trying to drive on the shoulder in a construction zone 🙄 you better wait in line like the rest of this!
Driving on the highway freaks me out! If I have to go on it, I try and catch traffic when it's lite,so as not to be so nervous of other cars!
Well after failing my first attempt at the G exam I am now a fully lisenced driver ! I passed! 😁😁😁😁This advice is %100 right! I was so scared at first to reach the correct speed before merging but when my instructor told me it’s an automatic fail I quickly learned. Thank you for this wonderful channel. I’m going to continue watching your videos to become an even better driver. Your Chanel has been there for me throughout my entire journey from the G1 to the G2 and now full G ! thank you smart test drive. Keep up your awesome videos ☺️☺️☺️🙏👍👍

Michigan drivers need this video
I used to be scared of merging and now I floor it and hope the other drivers give me room or we change insurance😅😅😅
Most annoying thing is when you’re on the highway, the person merging is going 30mph taking their time to speed up. Creates issues.
Wish more people see this guys videos.
Yeah, commit but you're at fault if someone doesn't adjust for you. And that lane isn't giving any room to break if you have to
My least favorite part about driving hands down.
I had many instances where I’m driving into Boston and I’m trying to merge onto the expressway. It’s a very short acceleration lane and none of the drivers would change lanes or leave enough space to let me in. I understand they have the right of way but it’s just inconsiderate to the people that have to get in and you can’t stop at a yield sign.
As a truck driver I now realize a lot of people don't know how to merge on the highway which is extremely dangerous. You either have to speed up ahead or slow down behind the driver coming past you but please people don't try to out run the driver, it's not a race and can cause an accident and please don't stop like you're at a yield sign.
You are correct my friend. We teach students to find a spot and aim for that spot on the highway. Also, if there's a semi-truck, move to merge in behind the semi-truck. All the very best, Cheers Rick
MERGING is main thing that makes me hesitate to getting a CDL class A. I have my permit but i personally dont think i could handle dealing with merging alone. It can be SUPER sketchy in a car. I cant imagine being in a semi. those worry me the most when it comes to driving. Besides that everything else isnt really scary.
Yea if you’re that hesitant, no need to get that cdl 😂
Now if only 90% could listen & learn from this 🤟🏽👊🏼💯
No way, dude! You gotta look at your phone while driving 35 mph on the onramp all the way to the end of it! 😂
All I have to say is "left pedal, right pedal."
Little 4 wheelers LOVE hanging out next to me, and I weigh 80,000 lbs... if I can't do you the courtesy of moving over, I am NOT slowing this truck down. Pick a pedal and use it; DON’T try and bully me over... it will end with you getting spun around and hit with a giant ticket, because I have the right of way and too much mass to forfeit it
40 years experience driving trucks and buses. I hate the timid, slow mergers. They cause confusion and accidents. If you are afraid when driving you should become a passenger.
Yes you need to giver! That’s why they call it merging. You’re getting up to speed to merge with the flow of traffic.
Kind of PO'd right now because of how much I hate drivers who won't let you safely merge in front of them all because you're driving a heavier/slower vehicle. MY LANE WAS LITERALLY ENDING/MERGING. I NEEDED TO MERGE. I SIGNALED FOR A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO LET THE CARS BEHIND ME KNOW WHAT MY INTENTIONS WERE. Total bs how that crash would have been my fault if it had happened.
Its not bs. If there is one car on the road and they are in the way, you can slow down or speed up to merge. You dont get to force your way onto the highway.
It was a 3 lane highway that merged into 2 lanes. Idgaf if you're legally not required to let another vehicle merge in front of you. There's such a thing called common courtesy. The driver in the other vehicle was not cooperating with the flow of traffic. Coming to a complete stop, and waiting to merge, WHILE I WAS ALREADY ON THE HIGHWAY would have caused further traffic jam. Definitely brought the ugly side of me out and I would have fought my way to the death to prove that that was not my fault.
We all don’t get enough time to get up to speed before it cuts off. a semi can’t move over and you’re going 60 no room to get over
theres a few bad acelleration lanes in my city. None this bad though
I normally drive on middle or left but when I began driving on right again .. I began to get annoyed when people will try to merge into acceraltion rate zz my mom told me to keep going .. if u press brakes the person behind will hit you
Avoiding those looks dangerous no way
Bradner rest stop right? Stupid short merge lane just line the one at 264th. Semis come out of both of them too. So stupid.
Wish i had someone to teach me to drive when i was 14. I almost died on the highway when i was 15.
Y’all being scared to get onto the highway is the problem. That’s how accidents happen. The people already on the highway shouldn’t have to move over for you to merge in. You’re supposed to be going faster than traffic. It’s not rocket science. I believe 85% of people need their licenses revoked 😂
Because most people would step on the gas just so you wouldn’t be able to merge. That’s where accidents happen.
@@ShadowFungus You should always go faster than the oncoming traffic regardless. If that happens, then in that case, yes slow down. However, you should never ever come to a complete stop in a merging lane onto the highway. Take an alternate route if it’s just the nerve-racking
@@AirForceKrissyso what if I am going faster , but it’s still a lot of traffic and no gaps for my car to fit? Just blindly merge out and cause an accident ?? No sometimes you need to stop. People are just stupid and tailgate you and that’s how dear ends happen
@@Xippone2093Especially in a busy City like Los Angeles
There are rare occasions where the ramp is short and no one is leaving room to fit in. I’ve never had that problem but I’ve seen vids of people facing it
hi I had a couple of questions regarding Ontario drive test rules if somebody could answer I will really appreciate it, so I know you are allowed to reschedule the test 3 times in a 6 month period, so if you pay the road test fees again are you allowed to schedule more times or is it three in total, secondly, if you fail a test does it reset or if you fail three times you just have to wait 6 months before you can make another attempt at it, thirdly if your test cancels due to bad weather and you have to book it again does that count as a switch, so I failed my first attempt in Windsor, I rescheduled it for windsor again ,but then I changed it to Burlington, I changed it to Chatham after that the test got cancelled due to bad weather so I scheduled again in Windsor do I have another switch left or am I done
Nice until no one moves over for you.
Merging is not very hard, I've done it a bunch of times, even on busy highways like the NYS Thruway which is busy, wild, and 65 mph. I find the 55 mph winding country roads to be more difficult as a new driver.
There are a few places where the entrance ramp seems short and not so easy to merge, I think one such place is on I 278 in NYC.
Damn what are you driving? A focus?
I wish I had my own car 🚘 like everyone else does and work a part time job being a para
My driving test failed because of this merger
Hi That average player - Sorry to hear about your unsuccessful attempt. We're confident that you'll get your license on the next attempt. If there is anything further we can do, drop us a note. Always happy to help. All the best, Cheers Rick
Is merging really require when enter highway?
Is that seriously a question lol
Yeah
you merge on every freeway you enter...
In certain places, the third or fourth lane, whichever it is, continues for a while and you don't need to merge. I've seen this on some highways in NY. Not too common, though, so don't rely on it.
Yeah there’s this one merge you have to go through from my home town to the city where I go to university so whenever I have to go home and then comeback to university I fucking hate the merge since the acceleration lane is so short, literally everyone I’ve talked to hate it, and I can imagine if the acceleration lane was longer like some other ones most people would be fine merging there but it’s horrible even as someone who is somewhat confident in driving.
