I messaged Julian with the question a month or so ago, and he gave me a simple, non complex way to go about it, but I can't recall if it was through his Youtube channel, or here.
I can't recall what the solution was either, because I felt it was beyond my expertise at the time.

I reinterated the question on this post so that others may benefit.

Something that complicates things, is that to merge onto a road, I have to give quite a bit of throttle.
And of course if you suddenly have to dart into the next lane, you need to to use full throttle.
This is an underpowered Civic, and not a superquick Tesla.

The second idea you mentioned seems like it would possibly work for sudden emergency lane changes, but would still deform to more throttle than you need right as you start the test, because the throttle needs to be mashed down quite a ways to even merge onto a road.
The only way it seems like something like that could work, is if I featherfoot the throttle, and build up speed over a long distance.
( And in Austin that is not possible - even on sideroads.
I would have to travel out of town and find a country road )
