Correct answer
Signal in advance, check safety and give priority to traffic in the destination lane.
Signal in good time, check that the move can be made safely and give priority to vehicles already in the destination lane. Move progressively and safely; signalling does not give priority. Refrain if the move cannot be made safely. When saturation makes each lane’s speed depend on the vehicle ahead, Article 83(2) prohibits changing lanes to overtake and limits changes to preparing to turn, leave the carriageway or take a particular direction, as in this case.
