Lane Discipline, Merging and Blind Spots

Use a complete observation routine

Check mirrors, signal early, inspect the blind spot and move only when the lane is clearly available. A signal communicates intention; it never creates priority.

Merge cooperatively

Match traffic speed when safe and select a usable gap. Avoid stopping unnecessarily at the end of an acceleration lane and never cross solid markings.

Stay settled

After moving, cancel the indicator, centre the vehicle and restore a safe gap. Repeated unnecessary lane changes increase conflict and workload.
