Explanation
When merging onto a freeway, it's crucial to accelerate to match the speed of the traffic already on the freeway. This ensures a smooth integration into the flow of vehicles and minimizes disruptions to the traffic pattern. By accelerating to the same speed as freeway traffic, you reduce the risk of causing congestion or collisions.
