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.
