Driving Improvement Practice Test

On expressways, you must actively manage the merge: signaling shows others your intent to enter, but you cannot rely on anyone else to create a gap for you. After signaling, scan your mirrors and blind spots, assess the traffic in the lane you want to enter, and merge only when you see a safe gap with enough room to fit in smoothly. If needed, adjust your speed to blend with the traffic flow so you don’t force others to brake or swerve. If there isn’t a safe opening, wait in the merge area or in the acceleration lane until a clear opportunity appears.
