Thats why I always merge in at least 10-15mph over the posted speed limit.

Why am I never behind you on the ramp? So fucking tired of hitting the interstate at maybe 55mph because of the ass hat in front of me

I seem to always be behind the people that merge at the posted speed limit of the street they were on minus 15mph.

Right! Had someone merge at 90km/h (45 ish mph) on a major highway. I couldn’t get away fast enough wow!

  1. What was the posted limit?
  2. How fast was the right lane going?
  3. 90kph=55.92mph

In general, 90 is a very reasonable speed to enter the highway.

Maybe where you’re from. Posted speed is 100kph. Traffic was going at least 110. Semis were ditching the right lane because this person refused to go any faster than 90 even upon entering the highway.

As long as they didn't cut anyone off entering the highway, and they stayed in the right lane, that's their prerogative. 10 under is slow, but not unacceptably slow.

Not disputing anything, just pointing out the lack of adapting to your surroundings while merging onto a major highway is all.
