As stated in the Highway Code:

Driving on the motorway
259

Joining the motorway. When you join the motorway you will normally approach it from a road on the left (a slip road) or from an adjoining motorway. You should:

give priority to traffic already on the motorway

check the traffic on the motorway and match your speed to fit safely into the traffic flow in the left-hand lane

not cross solid white lines that separate lanes or use the hard shoulder

stay on the slip road if it continues as an extra lane on the motorway

remain in the left-hand lane long enough to adjust to the speed of traffic before considering overtaking

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

Actually I'd go for B on the basis that anyone coming up behind me is obviously speeding (because I will be travelling at the posted speed limit) so by pulling out in front of them and making them slow down I am a) making the road safer for everyone and b) saving them from getting a speeding ticket from the Police car I just pulled over to allow into lane 1 and they haven't yet seen :twisted:

 Interesting the the question is about what you do if you are on the dual carriageway or motorway and not about you coming down the slip road. most of you seem to have answered as if you are coming down the slip road.
