Question 969 in the bank

The white vehicle’s driver is merging into traffic. how would you behave?

An intercity road with a yellow line along the edge. A white car is on the right shoulder next to a triangular sign, and other vehicles are ahead.
  1. Honk to the driver of the parked vehicle.
  2. Correct answer: Slow down
  3. Drive faster.
  4. Signal and move to the left lane.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down

A vehicle that starts merging into traffic from the shoulder may enter your lane before it has a sufficient gap. Slowing down increases the distance from it and gives you time to react if it moves into your lane. Driving faster brings you closer to it, and honking does not ensure that it will not enter.
