I was getting on 76 east (Schuylkill expressway to Philly) at exit 320 and its a very short entrance ramp. The car ahead of me went to the end of the ramp and never yielded at the end of the ramp.
This lady never realized there was an 18 wheeler right there at her side.
Cuddo's to the driver who avoided the disaster. This driver dodged and weaved and avoided a potential disaster.
My wife was wondering why I kept yelling "dont do it! dont do it!" until I pointed and she saw the person merging in on the truck.
Every one has to beat the truck.
How do you put up with it? Is it something you get used to?

Side window dash cam , and another pointing out the front- real drivers today have to learn and avoid other people its just not holding the wheel.

Like the saying, "if something can go wrong, it probably will", if there's a four-wheeler coming from an on ramp then chances are they'll attempt something stupid, like you saw. -
I've had a number of vehicles including other trucks who never look till they realize their at the end of the ramp and I'm not moving out of the way, that's when they learn what brakes are for.
old and broken and skootertrashr6 Thank this. -
It is a fair assumption that a large percentage of the population, now 70+ years after the first controlled access highways were first built( right there the PA Tpk was the 1st, opened in 1940) have not mastered the skill of merging onto the main highway from an entrance ramp. They are either too timid (stopping at the end of the ramp), too self absorbed-distracted(cell phone, don't know what a yield sign means and don't care), too aggressive( flying onto the highway etc.)
As the density of the traffic on a given highway goes well over the capacity, it can only get worse.Moving Forward Thanks this. -

I love the idiots that stop at the end of the ramp

After so many times you learn to ecspect the unecspected and just shrug it off.It doesn't do any good to get mad as long as no damage is done.The motoring public does not respect trks like they should especialy out in the northeast.
