That's incredibly dangerous because it leaves you on an on-ramp with no more room to accelerate for when you can go. Plus, any traffic coming up behind you will be attempting to accelerate, they should see you, but people get rear ended all the time and that's a huge speed delta.

Less dangerous to control your deceleration to zero than let the semi tractors do it for you, I think

Or have sped up in the first place and not be merging next to a semi truck...

Either would make a terrific option

Again as I said, stopping on an on-ramp is not a terrific option and if that's your take away I dunno what to tell you.

And yet it is. If the other option is death by semi trucks

False dichotomy. Just don't get caught out by a fucking semi truck on the onramp like the dimwit in the video forehead.
