Should You Brake When Changing Lanes?
1 Answers
Braking is not necessary as long as the vehicle speed matches the gear position. However, if the speed is too high during lane changing, you may apply the brakes to slow down. Here are some precautions when changing lanes: Yield to vehicles in the target lane: If you fail to yield and force other vehicles to take evasive action, they will inevitably alter their direction and space, which can easily lead to danger. Avoid changing more than two lanes at once: Changing more than two lanes consecutively can create blind spots for the driver, especially when moving to the second lane, increasing the risk of accidents. Lane changing is prohibited on solid line sections of overpasses, viaducts, or inside tunnels.
