Around here the entrance ramps to parkways are shorter than most peoples driveways and end in a bridge abutment.

Yet we still get idiots that pull all the way up to the top and think that they will be able to accelerate their *****box to 65 mph in 2-3 car lengths.

Then at the last second they realize they won't make it and get stuck at the end of the ramp and screw it up for those behind them.

On those ramps I always stop half way up the ramp to see oncoming traffic and find a hole that I can merge with at speed.

Amazing how many idiots sit behind me and honk, they don't get the concept of accident avoidence.
