How the exam asks it

About Weaving and zip merging: who yields to whom, and the 300/50-metre rule: which statement is WRONG?

  1. The agreement is that every driver on the through lane lets exactly ONE driver from the obstructed lane go first each time — not two or more in a row.
  2. Use all available room up to the narrowing: adjust speed at 300 m, only actually merge at about 50 m.
  3. When zip merging, you only need to adjust your speed right at the narrowing itself; you can just keep driving as you were for the 300 metres before it.
  4. Because mergers drive more slowly and have more room and overview, it is actually the reverse: mergers let the exiters go first.
Show the answer

Correct answer: When zip merging, you only need to adjust your speed right at the narrowing itself; you can just keep driving as you were for the 300 metres before it.

Already at about 300 metres before the narrowing you adjust your speed to the adjacent traffic; only at about 50 metres do you actually merge

Why learners get this wrong: When zip merging, several drivers from the obstructed lane may merge one after another before through traffic gets its turn again.
