people that join the motorway at 40mph, hello, dangerous!
But the people that slam on to let them in are even worse (i dont mean the slow car is pulling out, i mean just tootling down the slip)
Fuck em, and over take them at insane rpm, shits them up!

tbh your meant to pick a space and accelerate/decelerate accordingly

Using slip roads
A slip road can be used to build up your speed such that you can time your entry on to the carriageway to coincide with a suitable gap in the traffic from your right. The objective is to match the speed of the traffic on the carriageway such that the gap needed will be minimal.
If you are travelling at a slower speed then the gap needed will have to be much larger. Unfortunately slip roads come in varying lengths therefore it is not always possible to match the speed of the traffic you intend to merge with. Consequently, even before you commence the manoeuvre of joining a carriageway you must assess the length of the slip road to determine what speed you can attain and what gaps there are in the traffic from your right. Once you can see a reasonably sized gap coming towards you in the mirrors adjust your speed such that you can reach the speed you need to merge safely at the same time as the gap appears to your right
You then need to check your mirrors again and possibly glance into your right hand blind spot just before joining the carriageway. Therefore to complete this manoeuvre you effectively use the hazard drill at least twice with extra observations through the mirrors.

well yeah, you have to return back to the slow lane once you have completed your manouver (sp)

A lot of people seemto have a problem maintaining a constant speed. There is no need to vary your speed while driving on a motorway by as much as 30mph every 5 seconds. If you are that shit a driver, get cruise control.

Goin onto the A500, there is two lanes on the slip road, so i thought it was a good idea to take the inside lane so i could take over some arse in a audi trying to get on at 40mph, only for him to get offended and put his foot down in the first lane makeing me have to drive on the kurb for a brief stint. Shet myself, gave him the finger then he f'ked off at high speed. Y didnt he just get off the slip road at 70mph?? and y did he try and make me crash when i was doing the right thing!?!?!
