BDifficulty 2/5

On a motorway, if the adjacent lane is clear and changing lanes is safe and lawful, which manoeuvre can help a joining vehicle?

Correct answer

Change to the adjacent lane safely and signal.

Change to the adjacent lane after checking, signalling and respecting users already in it. Facilitate joining as far as possible under Article 73 without creating danger. Changing lanes is not always possible or best: safely adjusting speed may be appropriate. The joining vehicle must still give way and is not guaranteed to enter without stopping.
