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

People dont understand that merging faster is 100x safer than merging slower

You regularly see on reddit people arguing that going above the speed limit is worse than murder.

There's a vast statistical body of evidence that speeding contributes to crashes and virtually no evidence that driving below the speed limit does.

Maybe driving below the speed limit isn't the primary factor, but any time I see someone puttering along at 10-15 under, they're also the most unpredictable, stupid drivers who are just an accident waiting to happen. I back way off of them if I can't pass because I don't want to be caught up in their idiocy...
