You have just passed a truck and are in the left lane of a three-lane interstate. Your exit is on the right, about 2 miles ahead. How should you get to it?
A is ahead of a truck in the left of three same-direction lanes. The planned exit is still about two miles away.
Correct answer: Move right one lane at a time, signaling and checking each time
Why
Plan for your exit early and move over well before you need to. Change one lane at a time: signal, check your mirrors and blind spot, move when there is a safe gap, then repeat for the next lane. Trying to judge several lanes at once is how drivers miss a car in the far lane.
