You are driving at least 20 km/h faster than the green truck. What should you do?

I move onto the motorway ahead of the green truck

I brake and move onto the motorway behind the green truck

I stop at the end of the merging lane, and move onto the motorway behind the blue truck

Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation

In this scenario, you're driving at least 20 km/h faster than the green truck. According to German traffic rules, when merging onto a motorway, you should consider the speed of vehicles already on the motorway—in this case, the green truck.

If you choose to move ahead of the green truck, it indicates you're confident in your speed and can merge safely without obstructing traffic. However, if the truck is too close or there isn't enough space to merge smoothly, braking and allowing the truck to pass before merging behind it is a safer option. Stopping at the end of the merging lane is not advisable as it can create sudden hazards.

Choosing a combination of actions helps ensure safe merging. The key is to assess the traffic flow and make decisions that prioritize safety while adhering to traffic laws. Always evaluate surrounding traffic conditions before merging to avoid collisions or disruptions.
