Question 4578

When changing lanes between lanes going in the same direction, who has the right-of-way?

  1. The vehicle making the lane change.
  2. Passenger cars always have priority over other vehicles.
  3. The vehicle traveling in the lane that is to be entered.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The vehicle traveling in the lane that is to be entered.

Anyone already traveling in the lane you want to enter has the right-of-way. Before changing lanes, wait for a gap and move over without cutting them off or forcing them to brake suddenly. Driving a passenger car does not give you the right-of-way over other vehicles.
