Cevap

Match your speed to the traffic already on the motorway and merge safely into a suitable gap in the left lane.
According to UK Highway Code Rule 259, when joining a motorway from a slip road, you must give priority to traffic already on the main carriageway. You should use the acceleration lane to adjust your speed to match the flow of traffic in the left-hand lane and merge into a safe, suitable gap.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Use the slip road and acceleration lane to build up speed
Your vehicle reaches a speed compatible with the traffic flow in the left-hand lane.
Matching the speed of motorway traffic prevents forcing other drivers to brake abruptly.
2
Check your interior mirror, right door mirror, and right shoulder blind spot while indicating right
You obtain complete situational awareness of surrounding traffic.
Main carriageway traffic has priority and vehicles already in lane 1 may be alongside in your blind spot.
3
Identify a safe gap in lane 1 and merge smoothly without crossing solid white lines or using the hard shoulder
You join the motorway seamlessly without causing other vehicles to change speed or course.
Highway Code Rule 259 requires joining vehicles to give way to motorway traffic and merge smoothly into the flow.

Anahtar Kavram
