A couple of months ago, someone asked me what the first few years of marriage is like. It took me a moment to come up with something but I then related it to traffic merging. From the 9 am to the 5 pm rush, there is always a jam. The jam is the newcomers trying to get onto the main highway with the already existing travelers. Of course you want to slow down so that you do not have an accident. Imagine the challenge of forcing two different driving speeds into only two or three lanes. Once the traffic is consolidated, then they can move insync to the higher speeds. Getting frusturated with others on the road never really does anything productive except makes your dashboard a good punching bag, which could trigger setting your airbags off. Patience and being courteous will most likely make the "merge" successful without cursings or injuries. Every now and then you get the high rollers who zip by as fast as they can which can cause accidents and possibly road rage creating disaster and that is never a good scene. It is wise to communicate through using your blinkers to let others know what you are doing and where you are going. Paying attention to the conditions of traffic will protect you from fender benders and by reading signs and postings you'll be spared the headaches and frustrations.
