Curt,
A ramp is just that. A means to enter a main thoroughfare. It doesn't have
to be an interstate either. Normally a ramp is secondary to any artery it
attaches to. People on ramps are suppose to yield to traffic when merging.
If all was nirvana, people would use a little courtesy giving a little room
for the person to merge into. But people don't know how to merge, and I
believe courtesy has been dropped from the English language as "taboo".
I use to enjoy driving, but here in Northern Virginia it is disgusting. 90%
of the people tailgate, but the worst thing now is the way they cut in front
of one another in no more room than that of a parking space. I don't
understand what people think when the pull these stunts. Sorry, I'm
digressing now.

PS. Guess it could be worse, I could live in New Jersy. DOL! :'B

They were probably bored. Ran outta donuts. Dead batteries in their
gameboy. I got a question for the members. I need to know the rule about
on-ramps. I travel interstate 95 alot. On a daily basis, i get people that
dont use a turn signal to go from the on-ramp to the slow lane. Sometimes
they are just stupid. And then you get those people in their BMW's and
Lexus's who figure we should just let them in because the drive a really
expensive car. They either go all the way to the end of the ramp til it is
gone and just come over without looking, or just come over whenever they
want. This REALLY pisses me off. I dont give a flying rats as* what kind
of vehicle you drive, follow the rules. So tell me, whats the rule for
on-ramps.
Curt
