I just bought my first car and need to learn how to drive on the highway to get to school but the merging makes me so nervous. This video was very helpful and reassuring! I will keep your tips in mind when I am on the road!

AGHHH first time merging and driving on the highway was a success ! it wasn’t to bad :) don’t overthink it ! you’ll do great !

Some other things to consider. Remember who has the right away when merging into highway traffic. Not every driver will have the courtesy to give you room to merge into traffic. Also, keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. I am guilty of doing this myself from time to time and its one of the worst things one can do when driving. If they are going slower than the posted speed limit simply go around them if the road allows it and it is safe to do so. PLEASE DON'T TAILGATE! If you accelerate to get on the highway ensure you are maintaining a safe distance between you and the back of the other vehicle in front of you. . The amount of distance you should keep depends on the speed/road conditions at the time. Should there be an emergency and they hit the breaks you dont want to be so close that you will not be able to avoid a rear end collision. Majority of highway accidents tend to occur when the suddenly slows down/comes to a sudden stop. most highways have signs that warn drivers of traffic slow downs. Lastly, just because the speed limit says 75 mph it doesnt mean its always safe to do so. Stay alert! Stay alive folks! BE SAFE OUT THERE! ;)

The only thing a person on the hwy need to do is leave space for you to merge. Especially large trucks. It is much easier to speed up 3000 pound car, than it is to slow down a 35, 000 truck.

When I was 16-17, merging onto a busy Interstate at night was the scariest thing ever. I actually came to the end of the merge lane and had to STOP on the shoulder and wait for a clearing for me to get on the road, lol.

I drive on the highway all the time and didn’t problems merging until one day...what happened was, I was merging onto a highway, i was in the acceleration lane, and a truck was next to me. I was going to let the truck pass me then merge in the gap, but the truck was going too slow and my lane was about to end (btw i had my signal on the whole time just saying) so I decided to slam on the gas and try to cut in front of the truck. Well the truck sped up too and as I was about to merge, the truck was right next to me and gave me the loudest honk and continued driving at the same speed. Therefore, I did not merge and stayed on the shoulder and got back into traffic miraculously. I was traumatized. I almost got crushed by a big truck and the image of this truck so close to me is ingrained in my mind lol. So lucky there was no accident. I still drive on the highway but I try my best to avoid rush.

Thank you so much for this video. I got my license back in August, but I’ve only stuck to local roads, so I don’t have too much experience on larger roads. To make matters worse I live in North Jersey, and the highways here are literally hell. I ended up driving on the NJ Turnpike with my dad a couple of days ago and everything went pretty well, all thanks to you (along with my dad giving me some pointers haha). Thank you again for this video, really appreciate it man.
