You are joining a motorway from an acceleration lane. What is the best technique?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Match your speed to the traffic and merge into a gap
- Step 1: The acceleration lane lets you gain speed before joining. Step 2. Use its length, check the mirror and signal. Answer: Match your speed to the traffic and merge into a gap. Why not the others: Stop at the end of the lane and wait: stopping in the acceleration lane leaves you unable to reach motorway speed. Enter slowly and expect traffic to move aside: motorway traffic is not obliged to move for slow joiners. Move onto the hard shoulder and merge from it at low speed: the shoulder is kept for breakdowns and emergency vehicles.
