Who has priority when merging onto the motorway?

Merging is a special manoeuvreWhen you merge, you must give way to other traffic. Drivers on the main carriageway may sometimes make room, but the merging driver cannot claim priority from that.Good merging procedureLook ahead early at the speed and traffic density on the main carriageway.Build up sufficient speed on the merge lane.Choose a suitable gap between two vehicles.Check your rear-view mirror, side mirror, and blind spot.Signal and merge smoothly without unnecessary braking.Make use of the full length of the merge lane. Merging far too early at low speed increases the speed difference; waiting until the very last moment leaves no room to correct.Exam tipLook several times. The situation changes quickly while you are accelerating. A single glance at the start of the lane is not enough to make a safe decision at the actual merging moment.View the RVV 1990 at the official source.
