[QUOTE="Trucker Clock, post: 5240910, member: 70932"] Yep. He was in the right lane. He had traffic to his left. The car was getting onto the highway, at the typical slow speed because she was on the phone. She expected the set of doubles to slow down and let her in front of him, since she was still going 30 mph less than the posted highway speed and couldn't seamlessly merge. She does not know that she is the one with the yield sign. Even if she saw the sign, she has no idea of what it means. So she was not almost run off the road. She ran out of on ramp road because she was still traveling 30 mph less the the semi and realized she was going to sideswipe the semi. As she slowed down, even more, and tried to get in behind the semi, she now realized that she was only traveling at 35 mph trying to merge into traffic traveling at 70 mph. So she had to come to a screeching stop because she ran out of road and would have caused a major accident if she continued to try and merge into traffic traveling 40 mph faster than her. But she blamed the semi for running her off the road. You gotta love these clueless people. [/QUOTE]
