You need to change lanes to take an exit that is approaching. When should you begin?
- A.At the last second, cutting across several lanes
- B.Early - signal and move over one lane at a time when gaps are safe, well before the exit
- C.Only after passing the exit, then back up on the shoulder
- D.Without signaling to avoid confusing others
Correct answer
B. Early - signal and move over one lane at a time when gaps are safe, well before the exit
Why
Plan ahead for exits and change lanes gradually, one at a time, with a signal and a safe gap. Cutting across lanes at the last moment is a common cause of highway crashes.
