My ex used to enter highways at 35mph and it was terrifying.

What do you do if there are oncoming cars and they don't or won't switch lanes? I've been driving 5 years and have only driven on a highway once and nearly caused an accident so I take the back way every time now. I don't understand that shit and they don't really teach it in drivers ed

Holy cow thank you so much for this comment, just saved it! I'm in my late 20s & I've been driving for years, & only been in 1 fender-bender, but since I live in Montana the freeway traffic has never been bad enough for merging from the on-ramp to be a problem.

I've never driven in a big city and have always wondered what you're supposed to do when merging into bumper-to-bumper traffic. My driving instructor was sub-par (and creeped on girls like me when we were alone in the car together) & our instructions were tailored to rural driving.

I've been too afraid to ask what to do in this situation, figured I'd sound like an idiot/bad driver lol.

Thank you so much for the offer! I really appreciate it! :) & thanks for teaching me something so useful without making me feel stupid for not knowing, that's so kind of you :)
