To merge into traffic from an acceleration lane, what must the driver check first?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to observe the traffic. According to the standard safety rule (Mirrors, Signal, Maneuver), before performing any action, the driver must assess the surroundings. In an acceleration lane, the priority is to check via the rear-view mirrors the position, trajectory, and speed of the vehicles already on the main road. Only after observing and ensuring it is safe to merge should the driver signal and adapt their speed (usually by accelerating, not braking) to enter the traffic flow without hindering other road users.
