Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Continue on the hard shoulder until safe merging is possible

Answer: Continue on the hard shoulder until safe merging is possible. Why not the others: Stop dead at the end of the lane and wait for someone to yield, Veer sharply into the middle lane across the broken white line and Engage reverse gear and back up to the entrance curve do not reflect statutory Austrian regulations.
