When on a highway, match your speed to the directions of the traffic you are merging into, NOT the car you haven’t merged passed yet.

People always tell you to match your speed to the car next to you when merging so you can merge in right behind them, but then it’s annoying to adjust to the flow of traffic that is not right next to you. Match to the direction of traffic you are merging into to adjust smoother into the flow of traffic. <br><br>Higher speed on your right, slower speed on your left.
