How to Merge on a Highway

Steppenwolf says that when you get your motor running on the highway, you can be born to be wild.  For your fun to drive at highway a speed doesn’t mean that you can be born to be wild; you must follow the rules of the road to keep yourself and other people safe. Here are some driving tips when merging into a highway.

• Drive within the Limit: You should maintain prescribed legal speed limit on highways.  The speed limit is displayed on noticeable locations on the road.  To avoid accidents, you must drive towards highway and follow your lane and follow the speed of other cars.

• Maintain your Distance: Drafting and slipstreaming are not allowed in highways.  You should give yourself sufficient distance in front to approach the lane, and sufficient distance at the back to prevent a rear collision.

• Look both Ways: To depend on side mirror or rear-view mirror to decide whether or not you’re safe to approach the highway and enter the lane is not enough.  Collision damage of vehicles often happens on the blind spots, so you must observe quickly those spots before approaching the highway entry.  Always use turn signals while turning.

• Approach, don’t cut, the Entry: Dashing into the highway in one quick drift may be thrill in a racing, but you cannot do that on the road without putting safety of yours or other vehicles in great risk. You should approach the entry to keep up with traffic instead of cutting through the entry ramp and have clearance at all sides of your vehicle on highways.

In order to drive safe you must follow driving tips. With these steps, you can go enjoy and look for any adventure that comes along the highway safely.
