A lane ahead ends and signs show your lane must merge into the adjacent lane. Who adjusts, and how?

• A.Drivers in the continuing lane must always stop
• B.Whoever drives fastest keeps their lane position
• C.Merging drivers may force their way in without signaling
• D.Drivers in the ending lane must signal, find a gap, and merge safely; drivers in the continuing lane should cooperate and make room

Why

When a lane ends, the merging driver is responsible for fitting into traffic safely. Cooperation from continuing drivers, alternating fairly in slow traffic, keeps the merge smooth and crash-free.
