Question 955 in the bank

Traffic changes are taking place ahead, how would you prepare for these changes?

A multi-lane road with dashed lane lines, traffic lights on poles on both sides, blue square signs with white arrows, and hills behind.
  1. You are driving on the right lane, pay attention to the vehicles merging into your lane from the right only.
  2. The number of lanes is decreasing; move to the left lane without interrupting the vehicles in that lane.
  3. The number of lanes is increasing; stay on the right lane and keep to your right.
  4. Correct answer: You are driving in the right lane, pay attention to the vehicles merging into your lane, from left and right.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: You are driving in the right lane, pay attention to the vehicles merging into your lane, from left and right.

The lane layout changes ahead, so vehicles may merge into the right lane from both the right and the left. Check your mirrors on both sides, keep a safe gap ahead and be ready to slow down. Watching only the right side is risky, because a vehicle from the left lane can move over into your lane unnoticed.
