    Her dad is the one who turned the video over to the police. This behavior wasn't learned from him.

    Almost bet she was on the phone, chewing gum and driving while STUPID.
    YIELD these days means I have the right away. Had a Camper a few years ago. Jump on the CB asked me if I could drive? Told him yes better then you can. He comes back with I was to give him the right away. As he was merging. And was going to call my Company to get me fired. Idiot called the #, and I answered. He filled me in and I was nice.
    Then asked him how could the driver move over? When there was a school bus by him? Fool tried to tell me there was nothing beside the truck.
    That was when I told him I was the Driver, Owner and his sorry butt would learn someday now to drive.

    Bet that was a fun conversation! I'm not an O/O, but bet that is a great perk having your own phone number on the truck. "Go ahead, call my company"!
     
    Bud A. and Badmon Thank this.

    And this is why I slow down to let the 4 wheelers merge in if I can't get over, even fully loaded .

    I bypass around Chicago 4 times a week dealing with this Crazy Krap

    Their mindless and will try to accelerate their self out of the situation at the last minute instead of braking and falling behind the truck


    Teenage girls are the worse

    I'm not so sure about the Teenage girls being the worse. My vote is for the 85 year old who is scared to death and just comes to a complete stop on the on ramp, or just keeps coming forward at a snails pace and hopes for the best outcome. I don't know, maybe it's a toss up!

    Gotta agree about the old people. I spent 35 years in Gods waiting room in Naples Florida.

    My mother at 65 was the scariest driver you could possibly imagine riding with.

    I actaully clipped a car two weeks ago going around Chicago on a Sunday night

    Genus was hiding in my blind spot for miles. Never saw him until I moved over and caught his taillight with my bumper.

    He admitted he was in my blind spot and it was partially his fault. Stopped at the nearest Oasis 8 miles down the road andGave him my company info as I was on the phone with Safety and kept the cops out of it.

    Yep, and folks who come off the ramp going 20 mph slower than traffic, who then slowly accelerate. No concept of matching speeds or that they’re impeding the flow.
     
    Badmon, Aamcotrans and Rubber duck kw Thank this.
