I will start saving my rappen.

Currently I have no car with more than 300 hp

I for one appraise the speed and density simply by looking directly ahead and seeing the traffic that has passed the end of the sliproad. This gives me an APPROXIMATE measure - as I accelerate along the slip road - that approximation can be updated with additional information of the specific traffic flow about to approach the end of the slip road.

Those who do have problems with this basic part of driving - YOU ARE NOT LOOKING/THINKING FAR ENOUGH AHEAD.

I think it would just be too impractical to ban the majority of Swiss drivers - and think of all the lost revenue from fines and related business's (businesses? - can never find an apostrophe thread when you need one).

Nah .... just make it scary for the timid ones and scare the crap out of 'em.

This has to be one of the worst junctions in Switzerland I've come across. None existant merge lane on to the Autobahn.

Stop at the give way just to the right of the hard shoulder then drag race on to the A1 Autobahn, this is while trying to avoid drivers pulling right to turn off at the next junction.

Plus the retards decided to put up a massive barrier at the junction so you can't see the traffic approaching from the left.

A1 Junction 64 Dreiech - Zurich Ost you have my vote.

LOL, you need a drag car to safely enter this one!

"As you start down the slip road you can easily see the speed and density of traffic."

how did you come to this simple conclusion?

Plus you have to turn your head almost 180 degrees to see the oncoming traffic.

Ah yes, I remember this one...it's like merge or die!

Ah Ha
Last year at the afore mentioned last Bülach junction.

Drove down the first part of the slip road at night, unlit autobahn was empty.
Got to the part where the slip road runs parallel to the autobahn, still apparently empty. But then before I moved over I realised that the strange optical effect on my left was a large truck with no lights along the side.

Do I need to facepalm you?

All that doesn't take into account the possibility of human error. Mistakes happen.

I'm not saying I drive onto the hard shoulder everytime I join a motorway - and I doubt anyone else is either.

I can only think of one occasion where this happened: someone in the outside (overtaking) lane decided to cut back in because they were concentrating on what they had just overtaken rather than what was ahead... in this instance, the road where I was going to join was clear... right up to the point where the person in the other car decided to pull in...

Never let right or wrong get in the way of a good opinion

Yes

I have to disagree with this for the fact that the driver returning from the left lane should have checked the junction + car overtaken before returning to the right hand lane. If you're doing 120kmh and you return to the right it's 2 secs max to pass a slip road, so probably wiser to stay in the left if you're not entirely sure.

Golden rule do not make any move before checking all possible viewpoints for movement and your blind spot.

If in Zurich check under you seat too as there's bound to be a cyclist hiding there.

wohoo! i survived. not only that, i overtook a ferrari while fully laden. plus i used the size advantage to go right to the front of a traffic jam and then force my way into the lane and skip the jam! nice. i think my next car will be a large beaten up van.
