Explanation
When you change lanes or merge into another lane, you need at least a 4-second traffic gap to ensure a safe maneuver. This gap provides enough space for you to move into the lane without cutting off other drivers and allows time for you and the vehicles around you to adjust your speeds, reducing the risk of accidents.
