This means that other vehicles may be entering the freeway from the on-ramps and merging into your lane. By expecting merging vehicles, you can be prepared to adjust your speed or change lanes if necessary to ensure a safe and smooth merge for both yourself and the merging traffic.

This behavior can lead to congestion and longer travel times for everyone on the road. Defensive driving techniques, on the other hand, focus on anticipating and avoiding potential hazards, rather than constantly giving up the right of way.
