Question 4594
A driver entering a road using an acceleration lane — must they first make sure they can do so safely?
- No, because they have the right-of-way.
- Yes, and they must not begin the maneuver until they are sure.
- No, because the other drivers must let them merge.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, and they must not begin the maneuver until they are sure.
Yes. Entering from an acceleration lane does not give you the right-of-way. At the beginning of the lane, check that you can merge safely, and do not begin the maneuver until you are sure. The fact that drivers on the roadway must help you merge does not remove your obligation to yield to them.
