What should you do if a lane change is unsafe?

When faced with an unsafe lane change situation, the appropriate action is to stay in your lane and wait for a safe opportunity to change. This approach prioritizes safety above all else, ensuring that you do not endanger yourself or other road users. It is essential to maintain control of your vehicle rather than rushing into a maneuver that may lead to accidents.

By waiting for a clear and safe opportunity, you allow other drivers to establish their position and ensure that you have adequate space to move safely. This patience is a critical component of defensive driving, which helps to prevent collisions and promotes a safer driving environment for everyone. The emphasis should always be on driving safely rather than making hasty decisions that could lead to dangerous situations.
