Pop Quiz for Oklahoma City Residents

You're on an onramp merging into another onramp that will merge onto an interstate highway.  At the end of your ramp, there is a "yield" sign.  There is no traffic coming up that will interfere with your merge.  Do you:

  1. Come to a complete stop at the end of the ramp
  2. Double check for traffic, maybe only slowing a little as you do so, and then GET YOUR ASS MOVING

Oklahoma City drivers kept choosing option 1 and failing the test this afternoon, at rush hour.  Let me explain this once.  A yield sign means to let traffic already on the road go ahead of you.  But if there IS no traffic, you keep going.  You'd think that this is a simple concept, but I guess not...

Still Truckin'!

I'm still around, folks.  It's been busy, busy, busy.  There are some developments since my last installment.

  • Another driver and I founded Primedrivers.net, a forum for Prime drivers and possible future Prime drivers.  Trolls and exclusive naysayers need not bother registering.
  • MY LEASE IS ALMOST DONE!!
  • After my lease is up, I'm going to try my hand at flatbedding.
  • I'm a Trucker Buddy

Heartwarming, ain't it?
