I took a safe-driving course from AARP and the instructor suggested
stopping at the end of the on ramp, if there was no available space when
it ran out.
I got up and shot that idea down. In the bigger cities of at least
California, when you do your best at accelerating on the ramp and then
you "merge" which means diving into any space that is two inches longer
than you car, it is safer because everyone has been there and expects you
to do it. it is the norm. and it's the unexpected acts that screw
everyone up.
good luck.
and watch out for our Karmann Ghias, they are soooo fragile.
