You want to join the motorway. What driving line should you follow?

When joining a motorway, you should follow driving line no. 3 because it leads you onto the acceleration lane that allows you to smoothly match the speed of traffic already on the motorway. This lane gives you the space and time to accelerate safely and merge without disrupting the flow of vehicles. Driving lines 1 and 2 either turn off onto different roads or merge too early, which is unsafe when entering a fast-moving motorway. In German traffic rules, always use the designated acceleration lane for a safe and proper entry onto the motorway.
