| Description of the problem | While merging from highway 141 onto i-70 the accelerator pedal was depressed to accelerate from highway speed to merge into interstate traffic and no noticeable acceleration was apparent. The extremely concerning about this incident was that this merge was being executed between two 18-wheelers. While there was ample space to merge if the vehicle had responded without hesitation to accelerator pedal inputs, the experienced hesitation made the merge dicey.*ak |
