Passing target: 80% (32/40)
You are in the acceleration lane of a multi-lane highway, and your speed is close to the speed of traffic. Your mirror shows a gap in the lane beside you. What should you do before you steer into it?
A travels along the acceleration lane beside a gap between highway cars B and C. The card says A is near the traffic speed and the mirror shows a gap.
Correct answer: Signal, turn your head to check the blind spot, then steer in if the gap is still clear.
Why
Merging is a lane change at highway speed, so the same checks apply. Use the full length of the acceleration lane to match the speed of traffic, choose a gap early, and adjust your speed to fit into it. Drivers on the highway should help by moving over a lane or adjusting their speed when it is safe, but the entering driver still yields.
