because some onramps have a speed limit of 15 mph because they curve tightly in a cloverleaf interchange. It takes a while to get up to 65 after you've been going 15 in a tight curve.

There were many days where I was stuck behind someone going 30mph in the on ramp and thought I was going to die. The on ramps I drove were always a straight shot and half the time people were taking their sweet fucking time

you say this and then tonight I leave my house, take the on ramp to the free way just before 7pm - open road, little traffic, guy in front of me, I shit you not, from the on ramp with no obstruction not even a light, continues driving at 40mph from the 40mph road until he is fully merged, still at 40. didn't change speed at all.

aaaagh agony to be stuck behind him.

Even worse agony, imagine what it feels like to BE him

These people need to lose their licenses. Like going 25 under the limit is more dangerous than going 25 over…
