149 Giving way when lines of traffic merge into a single line of traffic

A driver in a line of traffic that is merging with one or more lines of traffic travelling in the same direction as the driver must give way to a vehicle in another line of traffic if any part of the vehicle is ahead of the driver’s vehicle.

Offence provision.

Note 1: Driver’s vehicle is defined in the dictionary.

Note 2: For this rule, give way means the driver must slow down and, if necessary, stop to avoid a collision—see the definition in the dictionary.
