    I was backing down the carpool lane on the 405 freway at 530 in the afternoon, and imagine hit someone legally going the other way, Hummmm, was I at fault.
    This is humor for the keyboard warriors.

    Powder Joints, in post #221, you just quoted the OP of this thread without adding anything new whatsoever. Why did you do that?

    I think he figured everybody needed a break from the OP.
    His post was a sense of humor test. You didn't quite pass.

    I purposely drove out the entrance only today at a Loves. Didn’t look in my mirrors either. Surprisingly, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING happened!!!!! Weird…. I will have to try again some other time with a different truck or something

    His reply was in the next post. I just merged them.

    It happens. Not a big deal.

    There are truckstops where it makes since to use the entrance as a exit, or sometime enter thru the exit. I stop at T/A Beaver Dam Az, and enter in the exit since I'm normally parking not fueling there. Burritto stop. Closer to Deltaco, because Food Matters.
