The flow of traffic on the highways where I live is consistently 15-20 mph above the posted limit. I wish everyone would slow down, but that doesn't change the fact that the safest way to merge is to accelerate hard and match their speed. The last thing I need is a financial incentive to be oblivious to my surroundings.
The only speeding ticket I’ve gotten in the past 20 years was for speeding on the on-ramp to get up to the speed of the highway traffic. Holiday weekend, so it was stop, ticket, and release. Repeat. No warnings given.
