Explanation
To enter a gap in traffic while driving on a highway, begin by checking behind you to ensure there is enough space for your vehicle. Then, focus on the vehicle ahead in the lane you intend to merge into. Assessing both the space behind and the movement of the vehicle ahead is important for a smooth and safe merging process. Don't try to merge into a gap that is too small. Always aim for a gap that provides a big enough space cushion to be safe.
