Driving tip, Runway method:
to change lane into faster traffic, slow down in the current lane to build up a large gap you can accelerate into to match the speed of the lane you want. Caution, check mirrors twice before change to ensure traffic ahead has not slowed down. A learner driver used it to get to 30mph on his 2nd lesson.
