What kind of opening should a driver choose before merging onto a freeway?
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: A gap large enough to enter without forcing other drivers to brake or swerve.
Why
A safe freeway merge fits the vehicle smoothly into traffic while preserving space around all road users.
