Trucks honking as I was broken down on the road?

Honking their horn mean they think your just sitting there its a hazard especially if your on the shoulder right next to the white solid line. Many trucks will have to move over sametime when approaching depending on traffic. Hazard lights/ triangles lets everyone know your broke down or emergency is happening.

 

I hope you at least had your flashers on, for a quick repair. Triangles out, if you’re going to be there a while. Seems to be a thing of the past. But it’s your ticket.

 

No way in hades this guy is serious. Has to be a troll or else he's going to get himself and everyone else killed on the highway

 

It’s i78 westbound going into Harrisburg. It’s a 2 lane very busy road that should have been 3 lanes a long time ago mate. You keep with that mentality you’re not going to last in this business be courteous with your fellow drivers we cannot stop on a dime doing so will cause a pile up as you should know I78 pa near Harrisburg and Allentown are usually bumper to bumper. Don’t just pull in at 5 mph just cause you see a little distance you have to speed up and slowly merge in.

 

Would running on the shoulder apply when using a ramp off a cloverleaf interchange or some of those ridiculous short merges with yield and stop signs? I slow down to look for a hole and then try to get up as much as I can before merging over and put flashers on till closer to speed.

In my case, it is a signed merge area... versus someone’s intentions on the side of the shoulder might not be clear.

Ah, when I was learning to get my cdl. I was out on my permit with a school trainer. We went up a cloverleaf... he told me to merge... limit was 65 and I was doing like 15... I balked and we went down the other ramp... wasn’t till I got my otr trainer that explained how to do that kind merge safely.

Those kind of cloverleafs still make me nervous.

 

Cloverleaf is the MOST dangerous type of intersection. That's why so many flyovers are being built these days.

 

If it can’t be helped it can’t be helped. But he had a long empty shoulder road was straight plenty of time to get up.

 

In Texas they are slowly getting rid of the sharp dogleg entrance and exit ramps that just dump out on the interstates. Built when 55 mph was the limit. IH 10 between San Antonio and Houston still has tons of them. If the shoulder is clear that is my lane to slow down before the exit getting off and to merge getting on. I will be rolling almost highway speed sometimes before I get into right lane if the shoulder is clear. When getting off I may have already slowed to 45 or less before the exit because I’m not wasting brake lining and going straight off the curve to fast because there are solid painted lines there saying I can’t cross them. I see drivers do that all the time like those lines are gonna total their vehicle if they touch or cross them. If a big truck is behind me I always let him know what I’m doing on the cb. They can stay in the right lane and pass me no problem and traffic flow doesn't suffer. If they don’t have radio oh well their loss to try to figure out what I’m doing because they don’t have the sense to do this themselves. I call it work flow on the road.
