On an entrance ramp, what should a driver assess before merging onto the expressway?
An entering car approaches a gap between two vehicles on an expressway.
Correct answer: Traffic speed, a safe gap and the length of the acceleration lane.
Why
Begin assessing traffic while on the ramp. Identify the acceleration lane, the speed of vehicles on the expressway and a suitable opening. Continue checking ahead, mirrors and the relevant blind spot. Adjust speed within the legal limit and enter only when the gap is safe.
