BDifficulty 2/5

Must a driver joining a road using an acceleration lane first make sure that it can be done safely?

Correct answer

Yes, and they must not begin the manoeuvre until they are sure.

Yes. At the start of the lane, check traffic position, path and speed, stopping there if necessary, then accelerate to an appropriate speed for safely joining. Give way and continue observing throughout. Other drivers must facilitate joining as far as possible, but this grants you no priority and does not replace your checks. There is no general requirement to stop at the lane’s end.
