Zorluk: ZorLane Discipline

You are driving in Lane 1 on a three-lane motorway and observe overhead gantry signs indicating a lane drop ahead, where Lane 1 becomes a dedicated exit slip road. You intend to continue along the motorway mainline. In what sequence should you carry out the following actions to position your vehicle safely and maintain correct lane discipline?

  1. 1Check your interior and right-hand door mirrors, and perform a quick shoulder check into your right blind spot to evaluate traffic in Lane 2.
  2. 2Apply your right-hand indicator in good time to communicate your intention to move out of the exiting lane.
  3. 3Steer smoothly across into Lane 2 once a safe gap is available and cancel your indicator promptly once established in the lane.
  4. 4Continue along the mainline past the junction divergence, then check mirrors to determine whether it is safe to return to the leftmost running lane.

Cevap

The correct sequence begins with checking mirrors and blind spots for approaching traffic in Lane 2, followed by signalling right in good time, moving smoothly into Lane 2 and cancelling the indicator, and finally reassessing mirrors past the junction divergence to resume the leftmost running lane when safe.
Under UK Highway Code Rules 264 and 266, when approaching a lane drop where the left lane diverges into an exit slip road, drivers intending to stay on the motorway must follow the Mirror-Signal-Manoeuvre (MSM) routine. This requires comprehensive mirror and blind spot observations first, followed by signalling right, moving smoothly into the adjacent continuing lane (Lane 2), and subsequently reassessing mirrors after passing the junction to return to the leftmost available running lane when clear.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Perform pre-manoeuvre observations using interior and right-side door mirrors as well as a blind spot check.
Identifies the speed and position of vehicles travelling in Lane 2 to find a safe gap.
Highway Code rules on lane discipline and the Mirror-Signal-Manoeuvre (MSM) routine require verifying that a lane change is safe before indicating.
2
Signal right with sufficient notice.
Alerts following and adjacent drivers of the intent to move across into Lane 2 before the lane drop occurs.
Clear communication helps maintain predictable traffic flow on high-speed roads.
3
Transition smoothly into Lane 2 and cancel the right indicator.
Positions the vehicle on the continuing motorway mainline without causing confusion.
Failing to cancel the indicator could cause other drivers to think a further move into Lane 3 is imminent.
4
Monitor traffic layout past the junction slip road and assess if Lane 1 is clear to re-enter.
Restores normal keep-left lane discipline.
Rule 264 of the Highway Code states drivers should always drive in the left-hand lane when the road ahead is clear.
