Hi there smart drivers. Rick with Smart Drive Test talking to you today about merging onto a highway a
freeway or a motorway, or interstates for those of you in the United States. This
isn't for the people who are merging onto the highway
this is for the people who are already on the highway and are helping other
people to merge out onto the roadway because as I've said in previous videos
merging onto an interstate a freeway or a motorway is a team event and everybody
needs to participate now just before we get started here if you're working
towards a license or starting your career as a truck or bus driver be sure
to hit that subscribe button right about there that way you'll get access to all
of the great information as I get it available for you now one of the things
I've had several questions from smart drivers here asking me if they can stop
on the acceleration Lane now let me be kind of clear about this
the answer is no do not stop on the acceleration Lane have I been clear
about that do not stop on the acceleration Lane get your vehicle up to
the flow of traffic and merge onto the highway freeway or motorway it is a
completely unpredictable action if you stop on the acceleration lane and you
are going to be rear-ended and not only that if you're lucky enough to escape
being rear-ended you're going to be cussed and cursed by other drivers me
especially do touch stop on the acceleration lane unless the traffic is
backed up and bumper-to-bumper you need to get the vehicle up to the flow of
traffic and merge on to the highway other vehicles will slow down they will
move over they will help you get onto the highway and if you want to have
grief about this and it can argue with me about this leave a comment down in
the comment section I'll be more than happy to have a go with you do not stop
on the acceleration language is an unpredictable action it's like this guy
who stopped halfway through a turn you're expecting the person to go around
the corner and continue if you're having difficulty with your turn abort the turn
do not abort accelerating onto a freeway once you get onto that acceleration lane
you were committed go get your foot into it and go other
traffic we'll help you as a driving instructor
said to me other vehicles on the roadway have three choices they can wait for you
could they can go home and he had some exploit is added into that going home
part or they can crash into you and most of the time other traffic on the roadway
is not going to crash into you so get going and I also had a comment from Jeff
at all wheel driving Academy and he talked about other vehicles on the
roadway helping people to merge onto a freeway Iowa or a motorway or an
interstate and yes you have to help them do that so that's we're going to talk
about today and in the break here I'll calm down a little bit and not get so
excited about you know not stopping on acceleration lanes when you're merging
so we're going to go out to the car and we're going to show you how to help
other people to merge onto a highway and interstate and a freeway so stick around
we'll be right back with that information
my driver's log backwards hard drive - fuckin'-a about lean merging and helping
other people to merge onto the highway now I know on the overpass here there is
a lane that is merging and I'm looking behind me here there's a truck and hit
Alain but he is far back there there are some cars that are merging here and I'm
doing exactly 90 kilometres an hour I simply just move over to the other Lane
is that you can do and we'll do this up here farther is just moved just let off
on the throttle you don't have to break most of the time you just let off the
throttle and the other cars are accelerating while you're eat celery
ting that is almost twice the amount of speed that you're traveling because
they're trying to accelerate up to the road speed in turkey celery ting
therefore instead of say approximately 90 kilometers an hour now it's 160 170
kilometers an hour that's the two of you are moving away from each other because
you're decelerating and they're accelerating so when vehicles are
getting on the roadway there's lots of speed if you just let off the throttle a
little bit and you're not going to slow down that much maybe 10 or 15 clock down
kilometers an hour or 10 or 15 miles an hour 15 miles an hour is probably
extreme you're probably going to go from 65 to 60 if you're traveling along a
highway or an interstate to let other traffic on to the freeway
interstate or motorway depending on where you are in the world
so it's something that I always say I've had quite a few questions of late about
merging lien that drivers need to get out on the merging Lane and they need to
match the flow of traffic on this there's the posted speed limit puts down
the ramp all the way to the end get your vehicle up to the speed of the flow of
traffic and as you're coming out you're communicating early you've got your
signal on all the way out on the lawn ramp and the acceleration lane to
indicate other traffic that you are urging onto the highway that week is the
plot of opportunity the year I just let off the throttle and this guy in front
of me is accelerating and I slowed down approximately ten kilometers an hour and
by the time I let my foot off the throttle there that vehicle that had
pulled out in front of me there he just accelerated up speed and I just let off
the throttle I slowed down ten kilometers an hour approximately six
miles an hour and I didn't have to move over to the other Lane and I wasn't
right up on them the vehicle in front of me as you saw there in the image so it
works really well you just let your foot off the throttle just beat and help the
other traffic to get out on the roadway and people have asked me to stopping on
acceleration lane if you're stopping on acceleration links you're just asking
for trouble because you're committing an unpredictable action one of the reasons
that in my professional opinion that traffic crashes occur is because car
drivers of vehicles commit unpredictable actions if you commit an unpredictable
action and other drivers don't expect you to do
for example stopping on an acceleration land ramp or stopping halfway through a
turn other drivers don't expect you to do that if you do that and they're
following clothes they're going to run into you so I do not in any stretch of
the imagination advocate you stopping on acceleration Lane get out there and get
your vehicle up to the flow of traffic and pick your DAP communicate early and
you will pull over on the traffic and as well for the vehicles out on the highway
simply move over and let the other vehicles in it can't move over that get
you put off the throttle and II celebrate sometimes you're decelerating
and the other vehicle is accelerating as you saw here in the image the other
vehicle is going to be able to get up to highway speed up to the flow of traffic
whichever is less and you're simply just going to have to slow down a little bit
and then adjust your speed and this is another thing that what you're learning
how to drive you always just work the throttle up and down on the throttle now
you can see here this vehicles coming out in front of me there's no risk of us
intersecting or our paths colliding I don't even have to adjust my speed
because that vehicle is accelerating and getting out on to the highway really
well up to speed the vehicle is probably doing the posted speed limit of 100
kilometres an hour so now the driver has his or her signal
on again and they just they didn't even slow down on the highway to wait until
they got into deceleration lane and then they slowed down to make the right-hand
turn there on the highway now I've got my signal on early and I'm getting up
speed limit I've got a huge gap as a motorcycle back there and I'm now doing
the posted speed limit the motorcycle is over and I shoulder check and I simply
drift over not drift over to fully into my lane very controlled in how I do it
speed the traffic flow is about a hundred kilometers an hour set my cruise
and move and now the motorcycle you can see the motorcycle here's the dash cam
coming along and that motorcycle saw me and purging out onto the highway and
just go over to the lane so the motorcycle helped me first on to the
highway and for those of you coming down the freeway in one of the other previous
videos and I'll put a card up in the corner for you here you have to take
note of where the merge lanes are you can see those with the road signs along
the highway it will give you a good indication you take note of where the
off-ramp is and most of the time maybe not some of the interstates motorways in
other parts in the world but where there's an off-ramp there's also going
to be an on-ramp most of the time so you're looking you're scanning as you're
driving down the interstate freeway or the motorway interesting note of where
those on ramps are that way you can either move over to the other Lane to
allow merging traffic to get on to the highway now you can see here that you
can see here there's an off-ramp so up here on the other side there's going to
be an on-ramp so I'm standing down over there and making sure that there aren't
any vehicles coming back out onto the highway because if there's peoples
coming out onto the highway I'm going to move over
so I can any on-ramp here there's a vehicle coming is another vehicle here
right in front of me and I just let off the throttle I'd cancel the cruise and
I'd be accelerating and you can see that vehicle in front of me is accelerating
and there's lots of space because I'd be able to get over and all I did was just
take my foot off the throttle it just he celebrated just a little bit so you can
see how that works for those of you driving along through in the interstate
take note of where the off-ramp is this is going to be an on-ramp and then note
the vehicle coming out on the on-ramp basically just either decelerate a
little bit to let them get out onto the road or the Lord's the other lane if you
can or if it you have to through necessity so that's how you help other
vehicles or other vehicles to merge out on the highway a quick review of merging
onto a freeway motorway or interstate for those of you merging out onto the
highway do not stop on the acceleration lane simply match the flow of traffic
the speed of the flow of traffic on the highway and the highway traffic will
help you to create a gap that you can move into do not stop on the
acceleration lane because it makes you unpredictable and when you're
unpredictable you risk being rear-ended it is very likely that you're going to
rear-end it because the people behind you do not expect you to stop on that
acceleration ramp now for the people who are already on the interstate freeway or
motorway simply decelerate and oftentimes if the person on the
acceleration ramp which most of the time they will be will be accelerating and if
you simply start to decelerate the speed of those two vehicles moving away from
each other will create a sufficient gap for the person to move into on the
freeway highway or motorway now if you can move over to the other lane because
you're going to as you're driving down the interstate motorway or freeway
you're taking note of where the on-ramps are because you'll see an off-ramp and
very close to the off-ramp often is the on-ramp and just simply note the traffic
coming out on the on-ramp if you take note of that you're not going to be
caught out by the fact that oh my god there's a car there trying to merge onto
the highway freeway or interstate because you can see
and sometimes you're going to have to look out over the overpass to see those
vehicles coming onto the highway freeway or motorway and if you can and
you can simply move over to the other Lane because you'll have enough time to
change lanes and create a space for that vehicle to merge out onto the highway
freeway or motorway if you don't know there's a vehicle there and you can't
get over that you simply just take your foot off the throttle or cancel the
Cruze and start to decelerate which will create enough of a gap and if the people
on the acceleration Lane in fact do accelerate and do not stop which they
should not do in any any case unless it's an absolute emergency and even then
I don't advocate ever stopping on acceleration Lane then there's enough of
a gap that's created that those vehicles will be able to move out onto the
highway freeway or interstate question for my smart drivers have you ever had a
driver stop on an acceleration Lane and catch you out were you just about
rear-ended them leave a comment down in the comment section there all that helps
