To all those who drive a car...

Please do me a favor, AND LET SOMEONE IN WHEN THEY WANT ON A HIGHWAY! DO NOT JUST -blam!-ING SPEED UP AND ALMOST GET SOMEONE KILLED! Backstory here, I had just mowed 3 lawns, ran 5 errands, had no food since 6:00 in the morning, and finally just got home to type this. So I was a tad annoyed when I tried getting on the highway, AND GET -blam!- BY A PICKUP TRUCK. The -blam!-er was lucky that it was a circular off ramp so I could just get off on another street instead of getting -blam!-ed by a railing. Lesson learned here: LET SOMEONE IN. This message does not affect the good truck drivers here in Offtopic.

    • Pro tip: If its a Yield, the accident is [i]your[/i] fault. If it’s a merge the accident is [b]their[/b] fault. And go!

      • I have found that many people just don’t understand merging. They either don’t know how to merge, or they don’t know how to let someone else merge. It’s like a zipper people.

        Question, why didn't you slow down a tad and let the dude pass you? Also, what type of truck was it?

        • And to add on to that, when you're in the fast lane and have like 6 cars behind you, MOVE OVER

          • Its weird because you have to stop since you have to yield to oncoming traffic. And yet you have to gauge the perfect moment to start accelerating, which I have some trouble doing because when you're forced to sit at a standstill, trying to instantly get to 55 can be a little tricky. Its something I personally don't like, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

              • The person on the highway has the right of way. It is your duty to be aware of what is happening on the highway and merge in a way that isn't detrimental to other drivers. Always. Period. That is the law.

                    Gotta learn them cut-throughs, side streets, and whatnot.

                  • Do they thinks it's a race? It's like they are super slow right in front of you, then then you try to pass then they will go double speed real fast
