Driving Rules
"A" has right of way. I hope he is cognisant of this fact! Most are not...So many people slow down my journey to the shops, because of this, that it does bare mentioning..........When two lanes merge, the car in front has right of way.If you are behind (not as advanced in position as the car almost door to door with yours), when a merging lane happens upon you, you must apply the brakes and move in fully behind.If you're infront, for gods sake, move into the centre of the merging lanes and control that space by your central presence. Why? If you don't, some absent minded motorist will move in beside you and stuff things up for everyone on the lane extending behind the merge, in a number of ways. Firstly, they will potentially cause a crash, secondly it wastes time for two drivers to figure out who goes first, if the informed driver (you) does not take action at the beginning of the merge to show all what has to happen.Motorcycles are best positioned in the centre of their lane, however since the oil slick resides there, the ideal position is just to the right of the centre. Why the centre? Well because this allows the rider to assert his personal space on the road. This is all for the purpose of safety. It makes other drivers notice the rider more easily. They need to know you're there or they will crash into you. Suppose you always ride your motorbike as far to the curb as possible. When a car behind you wishes to overtake, it will often not bother changing lanes to overtake, because it sees all the space you have made, because you are 'cowering' to the left; instead barging through your lane, as you are not fully occupying it. This is an unsafe situation. Blind Freddy can see that.
