Complaint After Complaint

Has anyone ever taken the time to learn what this traffic sign is actually telling you to do? Driving on any highway in basically any city indicates that most people have no idea what to do when faced with a yield sign.
Here’s the thing, a yield sign means that you need to attempt to merge into traffic while giving right of way to people who are already on the road. This means do not floor your gas and think you are just going to smoothly fly onto the highway while everyone else tries to give you space without causing a pileup.
At the same time, overly cautious yielders aggravate those behind them. When you are approaching a highway on which there is little to no traffic – you DO NOT need to stop. The sign says “YIELD,” you don’t have to actually follow that rule when there are no cars to yield to.
I understand this sounds very complicated and you didn’t know that operating a two ton vehicle required any kind of thought or common sense, but contrary to popular belief you actually do need to know these things to drive on the road safely with the other people.
