Lane Changes & Merging
Mirror checks, signaling, merging onto highways, and zipper merges.
Lane Changes & Merging rules in New York follow the federal framework with state-specific limits, distances, and exceptions. The practice questions below are drawn from the New York driver handbook, so they track the state's own rules.
