Lane Use, Turning & Passing

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.
