Yield? Size DOES Matter!
Just a pet peeve I had to vent about.I'm a pretty easy going guy,
you know,taking life one day at a time and trying not to get to flustered about the idiotic things that happen around me on a daily basis.But these young bucks in their rice burning,fast and furious death mobiles got me writing.Coming home on SUPER-
Highway #1 through Pa. last night.Cruising 60 in the right hand lane,and these 2 wannabee who knows what come even with me on the entrance ramp lane.YIELD!! TO TRAFFIC ON THE HI-WAY?
Nope.Disregarded that LARGE YIELD sign,and were waiting for me to accomodate THEM by changing my lane.NO!The right of way is MINE!Plus alot of traffic to the left of me.Got about 5" from me,saw I wasn't budgin', hit their brakes hard, fell in behind me and sped off to meet their girls at the 7-11.
Sometimes I wish they would just kiss my 33's and go careening off into the woods.
Thanks for letting me share that.

You need a bigger lift and drivetrain. When someone looks out their mirror or window and the only thing they can see is a DANA 80 or a 44" tire, don't worry, you'll have the right of way, no matter who is supposed to yield!!!!

Right away through size
Those little ricers can kiss my glass. Last night I got on the freeway on ramp and this young girl didn't kick it up past 35 mph
. These people should not be allowed to drive! Freeway + traffic = merge with speed, not brakes. Had a lady come to a complete stop on an on ramp in morning rush hour in winter. Stupid people. Thank god for 4 wheel drive and an engine that makes things happen.

I've heard of people who were on the highway already and still got written up for "failure to yield" at the onramp when a crash happens. I hate when people get in my right-of-way too, but it's not worth an accident to me.

I hate when that happens. People today get so impatient. I saw this one guy who (we were on a narrow 2 lane road) I was going to the opposite direction, this guy in the other lane was making a left turn. The guy behind him went out of his way and passed him IN THE BRUSH because he didn't want to wait the 5 seconds it would've taken the guy to make the turn.
People like that is what causes accidents.

I've been cut off in a 35' Freightliner-chassis bus by a Honda Goldwing, in a 1972 F-800 rollback wrecker (loaded) by a Miata, and in a 2002 Ford E-450 Eldorado-bodied 25' bus...by a guy on a bicycle!
It doesn't matter...people are just, well, CLUELESS.
I even had a guy in a Tercel cut me off on the highway while I was driving a 1983 Ford L8000 soda truck that had "STUDENT DRIVER" plastered all over it.

Lets think about this -
Judging by what they do to their automobiles, figure the odds they know how to operate them properly either....

I've noticed that in the past year or so, that people are a little pushier when I'm in the Grand Marquis than they used to. The big car used to be able to get them to back off a bit. That's one thing I like about my truck, those little speeders seem to keep away.....most of the time.

They usually buzz their way up right up till their a couple inches away from me then the real fun comes when you get to look over and see their expressions when they realize that I'm not going anywhere.
