What should a driver do when they want to safely change to the lane on the right in which there is other traffic?

  1. Move gradually into the right-hand lane, indicate and then check mirrors.
  2. Increase speed until travelling at the same speed as the traffic in the right lane, then move over and check mirrors.
  3. Pull in and stop, wait until a suitable gap appears and then move out to the right-hand lane.
  4. Correct answerUse the mirror, signal and move into the right-hand lane when a suitable gap appears in the traffic in that lane.

Explanation

Any time you change lanes, you should use the Mirror "Signal" Mirror (blind spots) - Manoeuvre routine. Check your mirrors, signal your intention, check your mirrors again (and your blind spots), and when a suitable gap becomes available manoeuvre the vehicle into the next lane, giving way to traffic already in that lane.

当司机想要安全地变更到右侧有其他车辆的车道时,该怎么做?

  1. 逐渐驶入右侧车道,打转向灯,然后检查后视镜。
  2. 加速至与右车道交通相同的速度,然后变道并检查后视镜。
  3. 靠边停车,等待合适的空隙出现,然后驶入右侧车道。
  4. 当右侧车道出现合适的空隙时,使用后视镜、打转向灯并驶入右侧车道。

每次变道时,应使用“镜子-信号-镜子(盲点)-操作”步骤。检查后视镜,打转向灯,再次检查后视镜和盲点,在有合适的空隙时,将车辆驶入下一车道,并让行已在该车道上的车辆。
