What should you do if a driver on an entrance ramp is merging onto the highway?

Changing lanes to allow a merging driver to enter the highway is the safest and most courteous option. When vehicles are merging, they often need space to safely join the flow of traffic. By changing lanes, you create an opportunity for the other driver to smoothly transition onto the highway without disrupting their speed or endangering anyone on the road.

This action also promotes a safer driving environment for all by reducing the potential for collisions that could occur if the merging driver struggles to find an opening or if another driver does not yield appropriately. It reflects good defensive driving practices, showing consideration for the movements of surrounding vehicles.

In contrast, honking at the merging driver, speeding up to pass them, or blocking their entry can lead to dangerous situations, increased stress on the road, and potential accidents.
