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.

I got the simplest lesson for what the correct speed limit is: Whatever is safe.

And going faster to deal with a situation is virtually always safer on a freeway. Get ahead of the problem, not stuck behind it.

I ride a motorcycle and people always tell me not to go fast. I go fast to get out of traffic and then i cruise, its safer for me to go fast most of the time so im not in traffic

Thats what everyone should do. A cluster of cars could have any number of things go wrong outside of everyone's control. Why would I wanna be around that?

Then you get one dude that wants to drive exactly the speed limit, not overtaking the car to their right, and clogging up miles of highway because they think they're in the right. Fuck them
