Je voegt in op de snelweg. Wie heeft voorrang? – Rijmaatje

You are merging onto the motorway. Who has right of way? Take a calm look at the traffic situation and first choose A, B or C yourself. A. The merging driver B. Traffic on the motorway C. Whoever is driving faster The correct answer B. Traffic on the motorway Merging is a special manoeuvre; the merging driver must give way. Why this matters during your driving lesson By spotting the situation early, you can act predictably and give yourself time to look properly. While practising, say out loud what you see, who has right of way, and how much space you need. Exam tip Look far ahead, check your mirrors, and only make a decision once the whole situation is clear. Safe, controlled driving matters more than reacting quickly.
