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

Two lanes merge into one and the lane markings end. Who must give way?

The answer

  • The faster vehicle
  • The vehicle on the left
  • The vehicle on the right
  • The vehicle behind must give way to the vehicle ahead Correct

Why that's the answer

Where the number of lanes reduces and there are no longer any road markings, the vehicle behind must give way to the vehicle ahead — the 'zip' rule. Where lane lines continue, the driver crossing a lane line gives way instead.
