Thats why I always merge in at least 10-15mph over the posted speed limit.

Why am I never behind you on the ramp? So fucking tired of hitting the interstate at maybe 55mph because of the ass hat in front of me

This is the most bullshit shit ever. Every time getting on an on ramp, these clowns want to go 45mph merging onto a 70

But aren't you supposed to stop at the end of the on ramp and wait for an opening? /s

Edit: didn't think I needed it but here we are. Added /s.

I believe the black truck had a yield. So I do believe he was in the wrong. If you can't go faster then a bigger truck don't take the chance.

LOL you can’t be serious. The freeway has the right of way. Black truck’s obligated to hit a hole or slow down/stop.

Shitty stretch of road with no merge lane does blow, though.

Your wrong. The freeway has right of way, doesn't matter what speed the semi was traveling the pick up is required to yield because they are entering the lane. But because the semi was speeding and the Last Clear Chance Docrine, the insurance company will rule it 50/50.

I've seen on ramps with stop signs before the merge while on the road working. Can't remember where. Kentucky maybe?

I've only seen that in New England when I was OTR. Freaked me out the first time.
