1. Motorway slip roads with 2 lanes usually have a big blue sign showing which of slip lanes merges first( outer or inner, outer into lane 1 of motorway, or often the 2 slip lanes MERGE first [ watch which one in which direction on bug blue sign]. 2. If unsure, stick to left slip lane as that usually is meant for slower/ heavier traffic with LONGER slip road to build uo speed and opportunity to check out traffic approaching from lane 1 on motorway, which if course has priority. 3. Once " established " on approach at good speed ( don't forget trucks can go 44- 55 mph in lane 1 and have priority) , look for a suitable space in lane 1 to squeeze in and adjust speed to current traffic flow. After half a mile or so , you can decide whuch speed is appropriate for your vehicle , position and load ( no point going overtaking with pior speed differential with heavy loaded vehicle when aiming at next exit already😅). Motorways are safe, but becoming increasingly unsafe with drivers who have poor observation skills, use sat nav waiting for direction while others waiting for them to make up their mind / speed / position and have no clue where thay are going. Keep eye on traffic at very frjnt and back , as speed and lack of observations can decompensate a whole traffic flow very quickly . Too many eyes now on screens and not on roads .

What would you do if there’s a guy right next to you while on the slip road and it’s that small
You should be looking at the traffic on the motorway as you are coming down the slip and adjust your speed so you can safely merge
Yeahhh Budddyyy
Safe driving
at the very start of the vid when you're merging, there's 2 lanes and you're in the right one. Where does the left one go?
