If two vehicles on a three or more lane highway want to change into the same lane, which vehicle yields the right-of-way?

When two vehicles are attempting to change into the same lane on a multi-lane highway, the vehicle on the furthermost right has the obligation to yield the right-of-way. This is based on the principle that vehicles moving from a lane to their right often have less space and may be merging into traffic that is already present in that lane. Therefore, the vehicle on the left has the preference to proceed into the lane as it typically has more space to make the maneuver safely, while the vehicle on the right must ensure that it does not impede the vehicle on the left, thus yielding the right-of-way. Being aware of these dynamics ensures safer lane changes and smoother traffic flow on highways. Understanding these rules helps drivers make informed decisions and promotes overall safety on the road.
