    Meeting you someday should be interesting.

    Would you prefer I stop and take pictures of your next accident, or wave while I go past?

    Enjoy your road rage.

    Oh... BTW - Bragging about taking people off the road is maybe not the brightest thing to say to someone with law enforcement in the family. I'll happily turn info over if I ever see anyone doing something like that. I can guarantee the 'popo' will see things MY way because I'm not endangering lives just to be 'right.'

    ok let me ask you a very logical question.....

    since when and where is it mandated that traffic flowing at 65-80 mph has to and needs to yield to traffic coming onto a freeway and or highway?

    I have heard of more drivers getting nailed by po po for failing to maintain a lane vs staying the course.....and on a more important note, I have put po po in the ditch because they failed to yield the right of way to the flow of traffic, and nope didn't get pulled over or a ticket for it.

    You read things like this and you wonder where in the hell professional drivers have gone.

    What I am reading is you own the road and you don't give a rats arse if you kill someone as long as you can stay in your lane.

    I suppose you don't want to spill your cheetos, correct?

    no, again, you have the guts to quote me but again you fail to answer the question....

    Being professional is just that being professional, and if I am moving along at 65-80 mph its my professional duty to maintain my lane....if you are the one that cannot look out one's mirror, pick a spot, speed up to the flow of traffic to merge that isn't my issue. There is a reason why the YIELD sign is on the ON RAMP into flowing traffic and not on the HIGHWAY were the traffic is flowing.

    because it's so easy to get an 80k truck to accelerate to highway speeds on an uphill on ramp, right?

    His option is to yield the right of way if you or anybody else can't move over...

    What are they teaching you people in these CDL mills ?? :dontknow:

    why is it you and a few others have a problem with this concept?

    I been doing this for 14 years, and been doing it safely and professional...no I don't have the strongest horse power of a truck, and no i don't haul light loads all the time....

    but yet I haven't been in an accident, or have ever had a problem in merging even with 80k lbs gross on my truck. if I am coming onto the freeway/highway and I don't have an opening i am that truck that is stopped at the YIELD sign waiting for an opening in order to merge safely...this is what one is suppose to do and is required to do.

    90 percent of driver side accidents are because a driver see's someone merging knows he cannot speed up to help the merging driver, cannot slow down quick enough to be out of the way so they jump into center lane and don't see the poor 4 wheeler that is right there. at which point driver gets a ticket for failing to maintain lane and is nailed with a preventable accident.....

    Now, the other side you trying to merge, I cannot slow down enough to help, I cannot speed up enough and I have a car in the center lane so cannot move over, you come on to merge and nail the back part of my trailer.....you get a ticket for failing to yield and i get a non-preventable on my record.

    i don't know about you but i would much rather not have a ticket and a non-preventable vs having a ticket and a preventable.

    Yield means just that but more ppl then not don't even look at the sign,they automatically assume its the oncoming trk that is suppose to yield.People that can't read and obey signs shouldn't even have a license then maybe we wouldn't have so many accidents.

    all I'm saying, is that if you have the opportunity to move over a lane to allow a truck to merge from an on ramp, it's the courteous thing to do. The fact that you don't seem to grasp that concept says a lot. If you can't move over, so be it. It's the merging vehicles job to figure out how to safely merge. But staying in the lane when you could easily move over and let traffic in is just an a-hole move.
