Attack of the Yari - Toyota Yaris Forums

Pulling into the on ramp to pass some one is insane and will ultimately make for a real bad day.As for the Audi driver? i doubt he even knew you were there or even cared and if he did he probably did you a favor by not speeding up and blocking you out in the on ramp.
Gene you car isnt a Yaris equivelent to this is it?

The on ramp is about two miles long, maybe I ought to have mentioned that. I am aware that people do not look to their left too often. I game what they might do and hope for the best.

You have to game things while driving a Yaris. Brute force is not part of your toolkit when you're driving a Yaris or any economy car.

If Audi boy had blocked me I'd have done something to evade him. Of course he wasn't aware of me - he was in his own little world, totally isolated from others. People like him are simply in the way.

The on ramp is on the left??
Trying to get your Yaris into it with an Audi TT is somewhat akin to bringing a knife to a gun fight.

No, it's on the right hand side. Should have said, "Look to their right".

You can almost always win a contest where the other person doesn't compete. More so if you have some nerve and good timing.

Jambo, Gene is trying to say that the on-ramp has two lanes that eventually merge into one before it dumps you onto the road.... he passed in the right lane of the on-ramp.....no harm done....

glad I am not the only person who uses on ramps as passing lanes from time to time.
