Correct answer

  • BSí, y no iniciar la maniobra hasta estar seguro.Yes, and they must not start the manoeuvre until they are sure.
Explanation

On roads with an acceleration lane, a driver who intends to use it to join the carriageway must make sure, at the start of that lane, that they can do so without danger to other users travelling on the carriageway, taking into account their position, path and speed, and even stopping if necessary. They will then accelerate to reach a suitable speed at the end of the acceleration lane in order to join the traffic on the carriageway. Although other drivers should make it easier for us to join as far as possible, they are the ones who have priority over us.
