  3. Check your mirrors and blind spot thoroughly before indicating and joining trafficCevap
  4. D
    Coast in neutral along the hard shoulder until an opening appears in the adjacent lane

Cevap

Accelerate along the hard shoulder to match traffic speed, and check mirrors and blind spots before signalling into a safe gap.
Under Highway Code Rule 274, when rejoining the motorway carriageway from the hard shoulder, drivers should build up speed on the hard shoulder, signal their intention, and carry out thorough observation checks—including mirrors and blind spots—before smoothly joining a safe gap in the left-hand lane.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Accelerate along the hard shoulder
Your vehicle matches the speed of vehicles flowing in the left-hand lane.
Motorway traffic travels at high speeds; merging at low speed forces other vehicles to brake sharply, creating severe collision hazards.
2
Perform full visual checks including mirrors and blind spots while signalling
You confirm a safe gap in the left-hand lane without causing other drivers to alter speed or course.
Checking blind spots ensures no fast-approaching vehicles in adjacent lanes are missed before moving out.
