What should you do when trying to enter a main road?

When trying to enter a main road, it is essential to yield to vehicles already traveling on that road. Yielding allows you to assess the flow of traffic and safely enter without causing disruption or danger to other drivers. By giving the right of way to existing traffic, you minimize the risk of collisions and ensure a smoother merging process. This practice helps maintain safety for all road users and encourages responsible driving behaviors.

Other options may lead to unsafe situations. Stopping indefinitely could create confusion for other drivers and increase the likelihood of being rear-ended. Assuming you can enter at any time ignores the need to be aware of surrounding traffic and could lead to dangerous encounters. Accelerating rapidly to merge may not give you enough time to adjust to the speed of oncoming traffic and could result in a reckless maneuver, compromising safety.
