How should a driver use a freeway acceleration lane?
Blue car A is in a freeway acceleration lane below two eastbound through lanes. Silver B is ahead and silver C behind in the nearest through lane, with an illustrative space between them.
Correct answer: Get near traffic speed, signal, and merge into a safe gap.
Why
Use the acceleration lane to approach traffic speed within the legal and safe limit. Signal, check mirrors and blind spots, choose a safe gap, and yield to freeway traffic; matching traffic does not authorize speeding.
