A free practice question for the Maryland permit test, with the answer explained.

You're on an on-ramp, merging onto the highway. Who has the right of way?
The rule
On an entrance or acceleration ramp, yield to the drivers already on the highway.
When you merge, the traffic already on the highway goes first. Get up to the speed of traffic and merge into a gap big enough for your car.
From the Maryland Driver's Manual, Section 3, page 14. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the MVA have the final word.
