S3F Driver's Test Question #1

[Lynch]

Yeild is NOT a stop sign. Unless there's no ****ing way on earth that you will be able to merge, you should never stop. All you are doing is ****ing up all the traffic behind you, as well as the traffic you'll be merging into. Get your ass up to speed and merge like someone with a clue, rather than stopping because you have no clue wtf you are doing!

what? yield signs means you have to "yield" to traffic...not merge...if there are no signs, then you just merge...you failed question 1 Lynchsta

In road transport, a yield (United States and Republic of Ireland) or give way (United Kingdom and many Commonwealth countries) traffic sign indicates that a driver of a vehicle must slow down and prepare to stop if necessary (usually while merging into traffic on another road) but does not need to stop if there is no reason to. A driver who has actually stopped in this situation is said to have yielded the right-of-way to through traffic on the main road.

[Lynch]

are you saying yield means "stop"? Because that was my point. It does NOT mean stop.

[awefullspellare]

It means stop if cars are coming, if you can safely merge that's fine, but if you can't, don't push it and try and get in, stop.

[Lynch]

Let me put it a different way.

If you are taking a drivers test (in-car, not the written test) and you come to a yield sign and stop when there's no reason to stop, you will be docked. Obviously, if there's no way to move forward/merge/whatever, you are to stop, but there are far too many people on the roads that tend to think a yield sign is the same thing as a stop sign, and it's not.

not sure, but except for freeway onramps, in most american cities Yield signs are only on local roads with low volumes OR at channelized right turn lanes at intersections.

I never said it was a stop sign...if no one is coming at all I just go. If there are other cars you have to yield. You got it wrong cause you voted for the 2nd choice "always keep driving and merge with traffic"...not always... The correct answer is number 3. "stop if a car is coming and let them go. wait for the lane to be clear before going." or "if clear, go."

This guy tried to merge like you said and he almost merged right into my car. If he hit me it would have been his fault for not yielding to the traffic.
