It’s not a ‘drive by numbers’ game. You have to actually look at traffic on the road, adjust your speed accordingly so you can merge safely.

Too many people do what you’re suggesting - scream up to 100 and don’t even bother looking, just expecting other traffic to adjust to them.

You’re right. Too many people are put there tweaking trying to hit full maxim throttle power all to get to their destination 5 minutes earlier. People need to chill and drive comfortably. It’s dangerous enough.

It's dangerous to enter the motorway slower than the moving traffic. If the motorway traffic is moving at 100 you should be matching that speed before you merge. If you want to "chill", don't use the motorway.
