    Reduced speed coming into the 45 work zone, set my turn signal to *close the door* but FEDEX would not be denied his little princess butt to get in front. Barrelling in at a full 75 in a 45.

    OK so now it is popcorn time as you all come in and declare this is all my fault lol

    It's your responsibility to adjust speed to merge, not his to slow down to let you in.

    Not saying he was in the right, but you are the one that waited till your lane was almost out to merge. You should have gotten over a mile back, not waited till the last 500 feet.

    FedEx would want to know the time and place; so they can track who the driver was. Not Safe!

    I sort of feel the same way. However. I think most will agree that if he had moved over much further back, Fedex would have probably then proceeded to pass on the right, and cut of the video truck trying to get back over [given the ridiculous speed FedEx was determined to hit the construction zone entrance]

    I'd say you get a pass on this one ....

    You could have moved over a little earlier and blocked both lanes.....you must of seen him coming...
