New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road rules

You want to move into the next lane where lane lines are marked. Who must give way?

The answer

  • Whoever is travelling faster has right of way
  • Neither — lane changes are always at your own risk with no rule
  • Vehicles already in that lane must give way to you
  • You must give way to vehicles already in that lane Correct

Why that's the answer

When changing lanes you must indicate, then give way to vehicles already in the lane you are moving into. Make sure your indicator is off once you have finished the manoeuvre.
