Where a highway has divided into lanes for traffic, a driver should:

Move from lane to lane with bursts of speed when passing
Never change lanes
Signal intention and move to other lanes only when it is safe to do so.
Straddle lanes and block following traffic

The correct answer is: Signal intention and move to other lanes only when it is safe to do so.

When driving on a highway with multiple lanes, it is important to always signal your intention before changing lanes. Option A is incorrect because making sudden bursts of speed when passing can be dangerous and could potentially cause an accident. Option B is also incorrect because there may be situations where it is necessary to change lanes, such as to exit the highway. Option D is also incorrect because straddling lanes and blocking traffic is not only against traffic laws, but also puts the driver and other vehicles at risk. Therefore, option C is the safest and most appropriate choice when driving on a highway with multiple lanes.
