Accidents involving vehicles at exit and entry ramps are very common and oftentimes cause very serious injuries and deaths. These are areas where many of the vehicles will be accelerating significantly or braking, if they’re exiting a faster road. In these areas, vehicles oftentimes have to merge with one another, as well, which means that there tend to be a lot of vehicles driving in one another’s blind spots.

Be particularly careful where major roads come together. Remember to use your head to check behind you before merging and to keep an eye out for drivers running out of lane to merge if you’re on the faster roadway.
