1. Be Patient: Resist the urge to rush or overtake. Wait for the slow-moving vehicle to merge onto the motorway first.
2. Maintain a Safe Following Distance: Keep a safe distance from the slow-moving vehicle ahead of you. This will give you enough time to react if it suddenly brakes or changes speed.
3. Check Mirrors and Blind Spots: Before merging, check your mirrors and blind spots to ensure that it's safe to do so. Signal your intention to merge well in advance.
4. Accelerate Gradually: Once you're clear to merge, accelerate gradually to match the speed of traffic on the motorway. Be mindful of other vehicles around you.
5. Look for Gaps in Traffic: As you accelerate, look for suitable gaps in traffic on the motorway. Merge when it's safe to do so, without cutting off other vehicles.
6. Check Mirrors Again: After merging, check your mirrors once more to ensure that you've safely joined the motorway. Adjust your speed as necessary.
7. Be Courteous: Be considerate of other drivers on the motorway. Be prepared to adjust your speed if needed and don't obstruct faster-moving traffic.
