“I was merging on the highway and I had to get in, so I cut the guy off,” Gilgenbach admitted.

Ah, but since Mr. Failure To Yield was the "victim" of road rage, he probably didn't get a ticket - or even a stern warning.

If he was merging onto the highway it was Mr. Crossbow who failed to yield if there was no yield sign on the on ramp, which there probably wasn't. I don't think Arkansas is like southern Alabama where the yield sign or even a stop sign is on the ramp... I've only seen one or two of those wacko intersections there. Odds are this was a cloverleaf type system and Crossbow guy in the right lane should have slowed down and permitted the guy on the ramp to speed up and merge into traffic. Instead the guys in the right lane were probably all tailgating one another to prevent the merge.

In Alabama folks who stop on an on ramp instead of speed up are taking their life into their hands - they always stop even if it says yield. They are constantly getting rear-ended by midwesterners who are used to cloverleaf intesections where onramp traffic has the right of way.
