When merging onto a highway, what should you do?
- A.Match the speed of traffic and merge without stopping in the acceleration lane
- B.Stop at the end of the ramp and wait for a large gap
- C.Enter at half the speed of traffic for safety
- D.Merge immediately, even if it forces others to brake
Correct answer
A. Match the speed of traffic and merge without stopping in the acceleration lane
Why
Stopping on an on-ramp or entering far slower than traffic forces others to brake or swerve and creates rear-end risk. Use the acceleration lane to reach traffic speed and blend into a gap.
