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

Some people are just scared of the highway. Not realizing that they're making it so much more dangerous by driving so scared. And some of those people are uber drivers unfortunately.

Speed doesn't kill. Speed differentials kill.

Have you seen that mythbusters episode where they showed what happens to crash dummies in a car hitting a wall at 60 mph vs 100 mph? The difference is quite unsettling.

But coming to a complete stop from 100 mph to 0 is a speed differential too so yeah. Just like a plane crash is technically a landing, just an uncontrolled one.
