MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY
When merging onto a highway, don't forget that the traffic on the highway has right of way, and they are not required to make space for you. By law, you must yield if there is no room. That being said, don't be afraid to put your gas pedal to the floor, check over your shoulder, and get in the nearest hole! Truck drivers prefer that to the drivers who drive next to them waiting to be let in.
