It's called an acceleration lane for a good reason. Accelerate, match speeds, merge. Learned that from my father at 16. Good advice 50 years ago, good advice today.
Couldn't have put it any better myself

Seems like most of the time, on the way down, you can't have it on cruise control for long....

Too much traffic on I-75......

Believe me, I'd prefer putting it on cruise for a few hours if I could.

Maybe it's not so much the volume of traffic, but that they're all going so daggone slow!
