What must you be aware of when joining the motorway?

When joining a motorway in Germany, you are allowed to accelerate on the merging lane to reach the speed of the through-driving traffic, which helps you merge smoothly and safely. However, the traffic already on the motorway has the right of way, so you must yield to them and only merge when it is safe to do so. The vehicles on the right-hand lane do not have to actively make space for you; it is your responsibility to adjust your speed and find a gap. Understanding this helps ensure safe and efficient merging without causing disruptions.
