You are changing from the left lane to the middle lane. Did you have the right of way over the vehicle entering the lane from the right in this situation?

Description

Art. 22 para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act

Explanation

Correct answer: No

The rules of priority when changing lanes are regulated by Art. 22 para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act. This provision states that a driver changing lanes must give way to a vehicle entering that lane from their right-hand side. This means that in a situation of a simultaneous lane change into the middle lane, the vehicle from the right lane has priority.
