interstate they never yeild anymore. It seems like the person already driving on the interstate have to put the brakes on and accomodate.

yes i've noticed that. i also notice how cars on the next lane will speed up to block you in so that you can't change lanes and are forced to brake to accomodate the ones on the on ramp who insist on going at the same speed you are even though hello they're still on the ON RAMP. losers.

I see this all the time. It's the reason I hate traveling in the right lane. Especially on parkways where there are only 2 lanes, and man you better be doing 90mph in the outside lane if you plan on staying out there, or you're likely to get rear ended. Even on Interstate highways I see this. Actually I don't think they should yield at all. The way I enter any highway is to monitor the speed of the traffic I am joining and slide right in on someones rear bumper doing the same speed. It works perfectly as nobody will be in that space. Not all on-ramps can allow this but it's my general rule. Screw those idiots that join 20mph slower than the flow. I understand why the speed limits are set so low though, because a lot of people just cant drive.

In California, the highway dept. does not put up Yield signs, by intention. The idea is that both drivers should be courteous and respectful to each other, and drive defensively so that neither causes an accident.
The person already on the highway who 'asserts' his or her rights by not accommodating the merging drive is a fool. And the person who merges on the fwy without regarding to existing traffic is also a fool. Two fools do not make it right.
If you think driving on a freeway should be a competitive sport like auto racing, you should think again, and decide whether you belong on the freeway.

Yes. These are the same people who merge at 30MPH and THEN speed up, forcing everyone to either slam on the brakes or change lanes to avoid them.
In MY state, Calif., when the freeway traffic is moving slowly and there are no gaps, you are REQUIRED to slow down so a merging auto can get in.
Under NORMAL circumstances, when traffic is moving at normal speeds, it's up to the person merging to find a spot and slide into it.

The deal is that merging on to a highway is a shared responsibility. The person entering the freeway can't just cram his car in but the person already on the highway can't block him, either. The problem is that it becomes a battle of wills where the guy trying to merge says "get the eff out of my way", and the guy already on the highway says "You ain't getting in front of me ******". Personally, my goal is to get where I'm going without my blood pressure spiking at 300 psi, so I'm going to let the guy in even if he's an ******.

YES THAT'S FUNNY YOU MENTIONED THAT. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY VICTIM. I ALLWASE LET THEM ON THE HIGHWAY. NOW I'M RIDING A MOTORCYCLE SO THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM WHEN THEY TRY TO BLOCK ME OFF THE HI WAY. IT'S ALL ABOUT THEM (WE DON'T MATER),. THE WORLD EVOLVES AROUND *** HOLES! IF I WERE YOU I WOULD JUST MOVE A LANE OVER TO AVOID THE 45mph MERGING TRAFFIC, AND BE SAFE OUT THERE

people these days are so inconciderate, Most people are so clueless that they don't even notice that they are slowing down traffic, and are being totally dangerous.
