Which statements about zip merging are correct? (multiple answers possible)

- You only need to adjust your speed right at the narrowing itself; for the 300 metres before it you just keep driving as you were
- ✓ At about 300 metres before the narrowing you already adjust your speed to the adjacent traffic
