Queensland · PrepL Road Rules Test · Give way

Two lines of traffic are merging and there are no lane markings. Who gives way?

The answer

  • The vehicle on the left
  • The vehicle on the right
  • You must give way to any vehicle that is ahead of you Correct
  • The vehicle in the wider lane

Why that's the answer

When lines of traffic merge you must give way to any vehicle ahead of you — position, not lane, decides it. That is different from the situation where your lane simply ends, when you give way to traffic already in the lane you are moving into.
