Heres is one for you all. If you are going up a dual or motor way and you are approching a slip way coming on to the road and a vehicle is coming onto your road  what do you do. is it.

A, Slow down to make the vehicle behind you slow down and let them in.

B, move over to the next lane even if there are vehicles coming up behind you and force them to slow down

C, Hit your brakes to avoid an accident with the vehicle coming on and making everyone eles come to a stand still.

D, keep at same speed and if they have not reach the speed limit by the time they pull out hit them up the rear.

You will be surprised at what the answer will be

I always though that you give way to vehciles coming from the right.
So the person on the slip road ( or on ramp) must slot in with the traffic on the main road.
I know this is not the case in the Uk though.
cars on the slip road expect you to get out of their way !!!

wizard :twisted:

Yes I thought if you are joining a carriageway using a slip road the idea is to ajust your speed to slip into the traffic, the reason a slip road is so called, or if need be to stop and wait until it is clear to join if very busy.Though these days people seem to simply push out straight in front without a care for any other road users,  and while we are on the subject you always get the idiot behind you whilst you have slowed down or stopped to join traffic thinks he will be a clever dick and pull out and over take you when its clear to join the road :doh:

As far as i remember when entering from a slip way you must give way to traffic from the right, so i have to go for D

Cheers

I think is that the driver joining the mway has to match thier speed and join, if they have to stop to give way then so be it (imagine a q for example). The car on the m way should maintain speed but iff possible pull into the middle lane to make it easier/safer. There is some overriding rule I beleive about "not causing any other motorist to change speed or direction" unless you have right of way. Also I hate it when you come onto a m may an someone slows down right next to you and "lets" you pull int a gap 2 feet in front of them, sometimes they sit in your blind spot despie there being no traffic on the mway.

This is an example where high performance cars are so much nicer.
