Another good distinction: rising or falling. I think that in the rising my main effort would be to get up to (or above) likely traffic speed, then find a gap.
You also reminded me of the guy who used to do Blue Riband instructor assessments for me. On one occasion a candidate noted that he went up a motorway slip road and continued the straight line out to lane 3.
Further distraction/ derail. One of his 'test principles' was to do what the candidate told him. Once, he was sat on his bike and the instructor (helmet off) stood alongside and explained what to do next. Terry nodded understanding, thumbed the starter, into first and away.
All sounds extreme. But one of those instructors said, soon after, that trainees were even more inventive
