Michigan Drivers Training Segment 1 Practice Test

Which statement about merging into expressway traffic is correct?

At or near the same speed as the expressway traffic Much slower than traffic As fast as you can Faster than traffic

Correct Answer:

At or near the same speed as the expressway traffic

Explanation:

When entering expressway traffic, you want to blend with the flow. Do this by accelerating on the ramp to reach a speed that roughly matches the speed of the expressway and merge when you find a safe gap. Entering much slower disrupts the traffic, forcing others to brake or swerve and increasing crash risk. Going as fast as you can or faster than the traffic creates a mismatch that makes it harder for drivers to judge your vehicle’s position and can lead to collisions. By aiming to be at or near the expressway speed, you can merge smoothly and maintain a safe distance from vehicles already on the road.
