Then you and I have very different opinions on this matter. If I need to merge into traffic that is moving 60 or 70 MPH (or any speed for that matter), I surely don't want to have to do it from a dead stop. I want to be moving at approximately the same speed as the traffic I'm intending to merge into. That's what on ramps are designed for.

Most be something with the 2011 RK's, I had mine less than a month when I got taken out by a van. Hope surgery goes well and that your recovery is speedy.
