Thin Blue Line Driver's Education Practice Exam

If there is no gap in traffic as you are attempting to enter the expressway, what should you do?

Speed up to merge Continue at the same speed Slow or stop before entering the acceleration lane Exit to local road

Correct Answer:

Slow or stop before entering the acceleration lane

Explanation:

Merging safely hinges on having a sufficient gap in expressway traffic to match your speed and blend in smoothly. If there isn’t a clear opening, you should slow down or stop before entering the acceleration lane and wait until a safe gap appears. Rushing to force a merge can surprise drivers and lead to a crash, and continuing at the same speed with no gap is unsafe. Exiting to a local road isn’t appropriate when you’re trying to enter the expressway. So the best action is to slow or stop before the acceleration lane and wait for a safe merge opportunity.
