What should a driver NOT do while merging and approaching the end of the acceleration lane?

Speed up
Use their turn signal
Slow down or stop the vehicle
Check mirrors

The correct answer is: Slow down or stop the vehicle

When merging onto a highway or a faster-moving road, the primary goal is to match the speed of the traffic and successfully enter the flow without causing disruptions. Therefore, slowing down or stopping the vehicle while in the acceleration lane is hazardous. It can lead to collisions as vehicles behind may not expect a merging vehicle to decelerate suddenly. The acceleration lane is specifically designed to allow drivers to increase their speed to a level that is compatible with the traffic on the main road. In contrast, speeding up is essential to merge effectively. Using turn signals is critical for informing other drivers of your intentions, while checking mirrors ensures that it is safe to change lanes without risking a collision. These actions contribute to a smoother and safer merging process.
