Does anybody know (or care) about how to merge on a freeway
I'm absolutely gobsmacked by the massive number of drivers who can't or won't merge correctly into the traffic on a freeway. What makes it worse is the completely lawless attitude of many when I bring this matter up. Some simply don't know and some simply don't care. If the government would try sorting out the wreckless and lawless drivers here instead of collecting revenue with speeding fines, I'd love to be a traffic policeman and be part of getting some order on our roads.
I thought with the shear volume of this problem I must have it wrong so I've checked the matter out quite a bit and turns out I'm not.
Let's hear your thoughts on what is the correct way to merge onto a freeway (VICTORIA).
There was something on TV a few months ago about this problem. In Perth the findings of the study were that only 40% of drivers there merged properly. The figures for Victoria were better at 60%, but still that's 2 out of every 5 drivers not merging properly. I know it certainly feels worse than that.
