Should I Move Over For Merging Traffic???

I was taught in truck driving school:::That it is the persons JOB that is getting on the highway to merge, and that I should not move over.

So every time I see a big truck getting over to accommodate the likes of a four wheeler, "Especially when he/she doesn't even need to", I always think they're in their first week; but am I right? or are seasoned drivers doing this too?

You know I'm always trying to get people to look at my blogs and stuff; but I don't care this time, I really want to know who's doing that, and more importantly WHY??? and yes I know about the "one" state that has it as their law.

 

My instructor taught me that it is their job to get in the lane: they should either speed up and get out front WITHOUT getting in the way, as they do so often: or slow down and fall back,

My practice became: if there are multiple vehicle getting on the highway, I'll accommodate "if safe", if there is one of anything getting on the highway, I maintain, don't break cruise and hope they do they're job, if they get stupid; as some time they do, I make sure I do what I have to to keep it safe.

This way I train my instinct to stay in the lane, which is probably the safest and most practical way to get down the road without jumping over every time I see somebody gittin on .......Jo Bernard

 

Yeah, but some people when getting on the highway should be measuring if they should speed up or slow down: but what are they doing? eating, smoking, putting on make up, or just in a general state of obliviousness; and then get to the end of the ramp, look up, and if you don't accommodate them, their pissed.

Why? all because they didn't do "THEIR" job.
