Zorluk: OrtaJoining the Motorway

When using an acceleration lane to merge onto a motorway, what is the correct driving procedure?

  1. A
    Move directly across into the middle lane upon joining so that traffic behind you on the slip road can merge freely
  2. B
    Rely solely on your door and interior mirrors to judge gaps without checking your right-hand blind spot
  3. Match your speed to the flow in lane 1, give priority to carriageway traffic, and check your blind spot before mergingCevap
  4. D
    Treat flashing headlights from vehicles in lane 1 as an instruction that they are yielding priority for you to merge

Cevap

Match your speed to the flow in lane 1, give priority to carriageway traffic, and check your blind spot before merging
According to the Highway Code (Rule 259), when joining a motorway from a slip road, drivers must give priority to traffic already on the main carriageway, regulate their speed to match the traffic flow in the left-hand lane (lane 1), and carry out complete observations, including a crucial right-hand blind spot check before safely merging.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess motorway traffic speed and identify a suitable gap in lane 1 while proceeding down the acceleration lane.
Vehicle speed matches the pace of the main carriageway traffic flow.
Matching speed prevents causing sudden braking or disruption to existing carriageway traffic.
2
Maintain awareness that main carriageway vehicles hold priority under Highway Code Rule 259.
The joining driver adjusts positioning to yield where necessary rather than forcing entry.
Traffic already on the motorway has right of way over vehicles joining from a slip road.
3
Check mirrors and conduct a final right-shoulder blind-spot check before smoothly steering into the gap in lane 1.
The vehicle merges safely into lane 1 without crossing into further lanes.
A physical blind-spot check verifies that no adjacent vehicle is hidden from mirror view.
