When joining traffic, what is the driver's main obligation regarding other vehicles?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Joining traffic is a basic maneuver that requires observation, signaling, and safe execution. Regulations state that a driver joining a road must yield the right of way to vehicles already traveling on it, taking into account their position, trajectory, and speed. If necessary, the driver must stop the vehicle to avoid hindering others or creating dangerous situations. Why the other options are incorrect: 'Doing it as fast as possible': Speed must be adapted to the road, but haste should never take precedence over safety or right of way. 'Turning on position lights': To signal the maneuver, direction indicators (turn signals) must be used, not position lights.
