Episode 35: UPDATE!

Emergency!Well, Colin and I did a little research about YIELDING TO THE MERGER. I came up empty, but Colin says it's in the books that when someone is entering a highway or interstate, it is necessary for the full speed traffic to provide space for the newcomer.

I still would like to get a detailed explanation of this from any of our law enforcement friends. It would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Trent

I'm a lifelong Texan and found this one to be interesting. I found the online pdf document "Texas DMV Driver Handbook". Page 54 (9-2) it states clearly: 1. You must yield the right-of-way to vehicles already on the freeway. 2. Enter the speed change lane, stay to the right, signal left, and when the way is cleaar increase your speed so you can merge with the flow of traffic. Hope this helps!

Okay! This is what this blog is all about! I'm excited that our listeners are continuing to help out with this type of information.

This will help us all improve ourselves and have the ammo we need when entering a potentially dicey situation.

Keep it up everyone!
