A1Difficulty 1/5

On a dual carriageway, a rider checks that a lane change is safe and will not obstruct others, then signals in advance. The rider moves to the middle lane to help another vehicle merge. Is this correct?

Correct answer

Yes

Yes. Help merging traffic as far as possible; a lane change can help when made safely and in compliance with signs. You are not required to change lanes if that creates danger or obstructs others. The merging driver must ensure the manoeuvre is safe and yield where required; another driver’s help does not grant priority.
