Where is my junior life savings medal?

I thought I was the only one that this happened to. I recently found out that it's "my responsibilty to get out of their way" not their responsibilty to properly merge" when an idiot called in on me. I had cars on my left and he had no signals on, he had a phone up to his left ear and untill he reached the end of the ramp he never once looked to see if he had room to merge.
It isn't my responsibility to get out of your way, it's your responsibilty to merge properly.

 

The motoring public is quick to point blame at the trucking industry as a whole every time there is some sort of incident involving a truck, irregardless of fault and circumstances ... but the industry never gets credit for the hundreds of accidents it prevents EVERY DAY because of alert, defensive driving of truckers in cases just like you mention. The general public is clueless, as a whole how often we are their "angels" disguised as big trucks.

That being said, the industry has plenty out there too, who are as careless and clueless as these 4-wheeler drivers we're speaking of. And the bad thing is THEY DO NOT know who they are or realize that they are in fact, careless morons at the wheel.

 

The responsibility to merge safely rests with different parties in different states. In Michigan it is the driver trying to merge onto the highway who has the burden of doing so safely. But cross the border into Ohio and it's the opposite.
