You are already on an interstate and notice a car approaching the end of an entrance ramp. A lane change away from it is safe and permitted. Which action can help traffic merge smoothly?
Correct answer: Signal and move over safely to make room.
The guide recommends making room for entering vehicles when a lane change is safe. Check surrounding traffic first; cooperation does not justify an abrupt move or stopping a through lane.
