For a long time I was terrified of driving on freeways, merging to join the highway and the need to drive fast were all things I dreaded until I learnt tips that helped me overcome my fear of driving on freeways.
Most important when merging into a freeway is to estimate the speed of traffic, once you do this indicate that you are about to join the freeway. Once you are on the ramp accelerate to match the freeway speeds. NEVER slow down at the end of a ramp unless the freeway traffic has slowed down. Next, look for an empty gap while double checking for blind spots and approaching car then move into it. Hesitation on the freeway is dangerous and is not advisable, once the coast is clear move in. You donâ??t have to be too fast, keep to a comfortable speed but donâ??t be too slow either. Look around so that you watch for other drivers and pedestrians using your mirrors to your advantage.
