Is a driver obliged to give way when they are about to join the traffic?
Joining traffic
Explanation
When a driver is going to **merge into traffic**, they are **obliged to give way** to vehicles that are already circulating. This is because the vehicles already on the road have **right of way**.
- **Reducing speed** is essential for the driver with the right of way to realize that you are giving way.
- You must **remain stopped or drive slowly** until the other vehicle has passed and you can merge safely.
Additionally, in situations such as **roundabouts** or **motorways**, vehicles already inside have priority over those wanting to enter. Therefore, you must always give way when merging onto these roads.
In summary, when merging into traffic, you must **always** give way to ensure safety and the proper flow of traffic.
