@shield_driving: This is one of the most misunderstood situations 🚗 If you’re already on the highway exiting, merging traffic should be adjusting to you, not the other way around. #merge #fyp #newdriver #driversed
It’s also polite to let people merge instead of speeding up. Remember, they can be learning and have fear trying to merge. You don’t have to stop, but just letting up on your petal to let them get in doesn’t hurt anyone.

I usually just switch lanes to give the cars coming in space to enter then when everything settles I turn back into the lane I was in

Courteous thing to do is slow down a bit and let car merge if safely to do so..yes you have the right of way, but its respectful. But as we know now, courtesy and respect for other people have gone out the window.

Merging traffic does need to yield to highway traffic, true, but letting them in is 100% safer for everyone than expecting them to stop until they can merge

in my country both lanes are equally responsible, so you are required by law to move over or adjust your speed, even when on the highway

It’s a dance. You can’t do the same thing every time while driving. Just do what’s safe and easy

I live in a small state with exactly one major interstate, it’s common courtesy here to move over so that the incoming cars can merge easily. It’s so weird to me that other places don’t even think about moving over, I hate the stress so much. 😅

But don’t tailgate, so merging cars can merge

I’d love if this was true about those merging. A lot do not understand at all what a yield sign means.

Depends on the state. When I got my license in Nc, I got it wrong on the test when I said to keep my speed. Told that I needed to either switch lanes or slow down

Merging traffic usually speeds up. I move over if I can

The vehicles merging off a off ramp you speed up or back off DO NOT hold same speed as the free way is moving

Work with the people coming on, they are accelerating to speed up, while trying to gage if it’s safe using side mirrors to judge to merge. This can be nerve racking.

isn’t the car that’s merging onto the highway supposed to speed up and car already on highway is to slow up a bit to let them on?

In what world do you think merge=yield? It is legally BOTH cars accountable for merging. On road traffic moves over or creates a gap, and merging traffic flows in.

I try to be hyperaware of my surroundings so when I see a vehicle from afar about to merge, I'd switch lanes to give space then switch back. Also, left lane is a fast lane so speed up when you're switching to avoid collission.
