Explanation
When entering a highway, check for an opening in traffic by looking over your shoulder and using your side mirror. Use your turn signal to indicate your intention and accelerate to match the speed of highway traffic. Merge into traffic only when it is safe to do so. Slowing down or merging too quickly can disrupt the flow of traffic and create hazards.
