1. **Rearview Mirror**: Observe the traffic on the road you wish to merge into, using the rearview mirrors to ensure there are no vehicles in the blind spot.
2. **Signal**: Indicate the intention to merge by using the turn signals, to alert other drivers.
3. **Maneuver**: Execute the merge smoothly and safely, adjusting speed to integrate into the traffic without causing interruptions or hazards.
