🚗 Merging: Who Has the Right of Way?
When lanes merge, the vehicle already established and traveling in the lane has the right of way. Drivers entering that lane must yield and merge when it’s safe to do so.
Trying to force your way into traffic, speeding up to block another driver, or not leaving space can quickly turn a simple merge into a crash. 💥
✔️ Signal early ✔️ Check your mirrors and blind spots ✔️ Merge smoothly and safely
A few seconds of patience can prevent a collision and keep traffic moving for everyone.
