If a moped tries to merge into traffic, is the driver of the passenger car obliged to make way for it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations require other drivers to facilitate, as far as possible, the maneuver of someone merging into traffic (Article 73(1)), regardless of the fact that the latter must first make sure that they can do so without danger and yield (Article 72(1)). That is why the driver of the passenger car must facilitate the merging of the moped: slow down or leave it space, whenever possible. Saying that the passenger car always has absolute priority is a mistake: having priority does not release you from the obligation to facilitate the maneuver. And the fact that the passenger car approaches from the left does not exempt it either: the obligation does not depend on the side from which it arrives.
