However, I'd argue - and from experience, since any time I want to go somewhere, I have to pull out on that road I described - that it is actually safer to pull out when traffic is moving faster, because then it tends to bunch up, leaving gaps between "flocks" of cars where I can pull out safely. When it gets locked down into a slow mode, there are no gaps, and it's next to impossible.

I pull into slow moving traffic the same as fast traffic... find a hole, and go for it.

Granted, slow moving traffic tends to have smaller gaps, but people moving slow also have more time to react to me pulling out in front of them because they weren't decent enough to allow me room to pull out.
