When will people driving down these roads understand they are in a slip lane, and they MUST give way to traffic already on the PWY!! People simply indicate and pull out… If you cant merge with cars already on the PWY safely, you must stop until its safe to do so, NOT EXPECT CARS TRAVELLING 80 TO 100KMH TO SLAM THEIR BRAKES TO ALOW YOU TO MERGE, PARTICULALRLY DURING PEAK HOUR JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL ENTITLED. WHEN WILL CANBERRANS LEARN THE GOD DAMN RULES WHEN IT COMES TO MERGING!!

Actually you’re supposed to leave room for merging cars. If they have to stop there’s no way they can merge safely, that’s why the slip lane is long enough for them to get up to speeds of 80-100kmph. When will you learn the road rules?
