You should enter a freeway at or near the speed of traffic unless the speed of traffic exceeds the legal speed limit. ( I think this one is not true, personally. merging with traffic that is going significantly faster than you would be dangerous even if traffic is going over the speed limit)

Right, toward the side of the road.
When parking facing downhill on a road without a curb, turn your front wheels toward the edge of the road so your vehicle will roll away from traffic if the brakes fail. However, when parking uphill on a road without a curb, turn your wheels toward the center of the road so the vehicle will roll into the curb if the brakes fail.

Take your foot off the gas pedal.
If a vehicle merges in front of you too closely, take your foot off the accelerator. This will create space between you and the vehicle ahead without requiring you to slam on your brakes or swerve into another lane.
