Truckers pay attention. This means that when merging onto a highway you must use the entire length of the acceleration lane ( On Ramp ) to accelerate to highway speed before merging onto a highway. You MAY NOT merge onto a highway as soon as the solid white line ends. And if you have traffic approaching that is within it's right of way you may not enter the highway but must slow down or stop and not force your way onto a highway or cut the traffic already on the highway because you have your turn signal on. This also applies to when passing other vehicles in the right lane. Your turn signal DOES NOT give you special privileges. It just informs other motorists of your intention and your intention can only be carried out when you can yield right of way.
