Please Be Careful !

Then you wonder there is road rage on the roads?

It's not a merge people. Read the article. You can make a left across 4 lanes or pull directly into traffic at that junction. No war of wills here. Just an unfortunate mistake by the driver entering the highway.

After two close calls from drivers not paying attention an on open road nearly cut our rv off i purchased a windshield camera.It is in car now but will be in rv when traveling with it.Driving a 53 foot truck for many years i like other person said i move to left lane when in area with many ramps.Being in that lane i only need to scan basically 90degrees forward an to right.At risk of offending some i also drive fast enough so there is no reason for most folks to pass me.I also use signals to comunicate a lane change.
Other thing i think might be cause of many crashes is use of cruse.There is no way a driver can recognise a problem an have his vehicle react nearly as fast as you the driver having your foot on excelerator.In the mean time your vehicle is on fast tack to a crash instead of slowing.I know i am thinking seconds saved but you have to realise it is just natural to come off of accelera brake an tor an hit brake pedal if needed.On cruse you might even not have foot near brake.Well thats my story an i am sticking to it.Drive safe everyone!

A little hint, when the road way interstate becomes 3 lanes instead of two, get in the 2nd lane or follow the semis as they know the game. Never put yourself in the first lane unless you are exiting.
I had a girl in Tx speed up when I sped up and slowed when I thought to slow down, then she flat pout stopped on the entrance ramp. That was the last time I've been caught in the first lane.

It is really sad, two families with a loss, just because people do not know how to drive! We should all push for tougher licensing and retesting. People come down the ramp at their leisure and pull into traffic, who is supposed to get out of there way! Then they start to accelerate never mind the mess they left behind!!!

Then they give you the finger, for being on "Their" road.

That's just horrible and two families in shambles. I hate to say it but you see people that don't know how to merge all the time. Dennis is right, you have to be aware and be prepared for anything to happen.
Be safe out there.

This sounds from the article like a case of "I don't want to get stuck behind this truck pulling a trailer so I'll just pull out off this side road in front of him, he'll be able to stop for me"!!!!!

Dang!!! I hate to see this. Hwy 6 out of Spanish Forks, Utah to Price is considered a good short cut to Southern Colorado but deadly. We took it two weeks ago. Narrow blacktop and high speeds make a deadly combination.

Yeah, notice a lot of that in South Carolina and in Florida. Even had one idiot stopped between exit and highway then pulled out in front of me the last second while I was rolling around 55 had to slam on brakes to avoid him, there was no room for me pass him it was either passing traffic or the ditch, missed slamming into him by a mere couple of feet, scary moment.
