Explanation
The best way to assist vehicles merging onto a freeway is to change lanes if possible, giving them space to join traffic smoothly. Always signal and check your side mirror to ensure the road behind you is clear before moving over. If changing lanes isn’t an option, adjust your speed to allow the merging vehicle to enter safely, but avoid sudden braking. This approach ensures a smoother and safer traffic flow.
