Driving manoeuvres

Near Aardenburg you drive onto the merge lane. After only a few metres you see a gap between two lorries on the through carriageway, but you are still far slower than they are. What do you do?

Merge at 2/3 of the lane; the lorries will move over for you
Keep going and build up speed until about 2/3 of the lane
Merge into that gap straight away, already after 1/3 of the lane

Explanation

False — You count on the through traffic making room. When merging you let the traffic on the through carriageway go first; some drivers move left, but they do not have to, so do not count on it (Book p.148).
