You are in the center lane of a three-lane turnpike. Your exit ramp comes up on the right, but the right lane is full of cars and you cannot move over safely. What should you do?

Correct answer: Stay in your lane, go on to the next exit, and plan a route back from there.

Why

Watch the signs early and move into the correct lane well before your exit, because most exit ramps and deceleration lanes are on the right. When you still cannot reach the ramp safely, the rule is simple: go on to the next exit. Last-second lane cuts, stops in a travel lane and backing up all put a slow or stopped car in the path of fast traffic. A few extra miles cost far less than a high-speed crash.
