Car permit · Freeway driving
Which statement about entering a freeway is correct?
Correct answer: You must yield to drivers who are already traveling on the freeway.
Answer options
- AYou are required to match the speed of traffic at all times
- BYou must yield to drivers who are already traveling on the freeway Correct
- CFreeway drivers must always yield to anyone entering from a ramp
Why
Traffic already moving along the freeway has priority over you, so you must give way and merge into an opening without forcing anyone to brake. Try to join at roughly the speed of the traffic around you, but that is something to aim for, not a requirement to match every other car at every moment.
