When merging onto a freeway, you should:

  1. Match the speed of the other vehicle

  2. Accelerate rapidly to allow for faster merging

  3. Merge at the shortest point possible

  4. Slow down and wait for a gap in traffic

The correct answer is: Slow down and wait for a gap in traffic

Merging onto a freeway requires caution and attentiveness. Accelerating rapidly, as mentioned in option B, can be dangerous and may cause accidents. Similarly, merging at the shortest point possible (option C) can create a safety hazard for both the merging vehicle and existing traffic. Option A may seem like a good choice, but it is not always possible to match the speed of the other vehicle. It is important to slow down and wait for a safe gap in traffic before merging onto the freeway. This allows for a smooth and safe merge for all vehicles involved.
