Explanation
Highway traffic has the right-of-way, but you should make space for entering vehicles whenever possible. If another vehicle is trying to merge into your lane on the freeway, do your best to help by adjusting your speed or changing lanes safely. Even though you have the right-of-way, it’s important to drive cooperatively and allow room for merging traffic. Stay alert, use your turn signals when changing lanes, and watch for signals from other drivers.
