Question 4831
If you see that a vehicle wants to merge into traffic from the acceleration lane, what must you do?
- Yield the right-of-way to it.
- Nothing, because I have the right-of-way.
- Help it merge when possible.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Help it merge when possible.
You have the right-of-way, because anyone entering from the acceleration lane must yield to you. Even so, you must help them merge whenever you can, for example by easing off the accelerator or moving into the left lane if it is clear. Helping them merge does not mean yielding the right-of-way or stopping.
