Question 3807

To merge onto a freeway using the acceleration lane, you must do so...

  1. slowly, so that you can stop at the end of the lane.
  2. at the maximum permitted speed so as not to obstruct other road users.
  3. at a speed appropriate for the road you are merging onto.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: at a speed appropriate for the road you are merging onto.

Use the acceleration lane to reach a speed appropriate for the freeway and its traffic, which does not have to be the maximum speed. If you need to stop, do so at the beginning of the lane, not at the end.
