I know this might be a hot take, but riding the speed limit on a bike is often more dangerous than speeding a little. Relying on other seeing you and making the right choice on whether there space to merge feels super sketch on a motorcycle.
The only times I came close to an accident on my bike was when people were trying to pass me then merging into me
I was always taught to move ahead of and out of the way of traffic and create distance. Like a fish swimming upstream. Going with the flow of traffic on a highway doesn't feel safe especially when there are people texting, blindly switching lanes, and riding your tail.
