What should you do when entering the motorway?

Speed up to match traffic
Give way to traffic already on the motorway
Stop and check for oncoming vehicles
Wait for a gap before merging

The correct answer is: Give way to traffic already on the motorway

While it's important to be aware of the traffic already on the motorway, the best practice when entering is to wait for a gap before merging. Merging into traffic requires you to accelerate on the slip road to match the speed of vehicles already on the motorway, ensuring a smoother integration into the traffic flow. Giving way to traffic already on the motorway can hinder your ability to merge effectively and safely, as it may create a bottleneck that disrupts the flow of vehicles. Instead, you should signal your intention to merge and look for a suitable gap that allows you to join the motorway without causing disruption to the vehicles already traveling in their lanes. Stopping and checking for oncoming vehicles is not advisable, as this can create confusion and increase the risk of an accident. The aim is to facilitate a seamless entry into the motorway by matching the speed of existing traffic.
