I specialise in this. Nervous learners. Anxious adults who haven't driven in a decade. People whose hands actually shake on the wheel before

The Subtle Art of Merging — Or: It Doesn’t Matter How Many Lanes There Are, This Is Going to Be a Problem

Traffic engineers have solved it mathematically. The solution is elegant, efficient, and almost universally ignored. Welcome to the merge. Leave your assumptions at the line markings.

Others nail the mechanics quickly but take longer to feel genuinely comfortable in traffic. Neither of those is a problem. That's just how learning works.

They adjust the lesson
