You drive down an entrance ramp onto an interstate. A truck in the right lane of the interstate will be next to you when your lane joins the highway. What should you do?
A is on an entrance ramp beside truck B in the interstate right lane. No safe merge path has been selected in the question.
Correct answer: Adjust your speed and merge behind the truck or into a safe gap
Why
Look for a gap early, while you are still on the ramp, so that you have time to adjust your speed. Never cut in closely in front of a large truck, because it cannot slow down quickly. Drivers who enter any highway, intersection or roundabout must yield to traffic that is already in it.
