Queensland · PrepL Road Rules Test · Give way

You are changing lanes on a multi-lane road. Who must give way?

The answer

  • Neither — lane changes are unregulated
  • The traffic already in the lane you are moving to
  • You must give way to the traffic already in that lane Correct
  • Whichever vehicle is travelling faster

Why that's the answer

When you change lanes you must give way to the traffic already in the lane you are moving to. The vehicles already there keep their priority — moving across is your manoeuvre to make safely.
