Technically you should be prepared to stop if required at ANY giveway line, although when joining a fast moving carriageway from a slip road, you should aim to match the speed of the traffic flow and filter in ifand when safe to. You have no right of way.

..... You have no right of way.

Unfortunately there are loads out there that think they do!

Quite...

Its beyond belief how many people think they have the god given right to just enter a motorway, and always blame the bloke coming up fast on the motorway towards them for not letting them in. As Al said....you have no right of way !!!!.
 I think it is respectful to drivers entering a motorway, to, if possible and safe, to move over into the middle lane, to allow them entry. But that is not always possible. Seeing some of the antics of the drivers entering the M3 at Basingstoke, heading towards Hook, last week was frightening in the least. The amount of yards they travelled before installing themselves at high speed into the outside lane could be counted on one hand. Absolute total madness
Oh, if only I had blue flashing lights

The flip side of motorway slip roads are the muppets that slow down in the inside lane before coming off onto the slip road rather than slowing down on the slip road itself!

We are having a good moan tonight aren't we?................

Personally I am getting to the point of not liking to drive in the dark, it's country roads mostly round here, and some of these modern headlights are so bright they dazzle even if dipped, how they pass and MOT beggers belief...................

I am totally with you there, mate. I hate it at night, especially on the road to our tin tent....the road is like a roller coaster. What with full beam on, and bright lights coming at you over the rises, its a nightmare !!!!!

Unfortunately/fortunately depending on the car you drive headlight brightness isn't an MoT issue... lights can be as bright or as dim as you like... provided 1. They are correctly adjusted, and 2. that they are equally bright or dim.

So provided the beam pattern at rest is correct, a 6V MK1 Beetle is no more or less unroadworthy than the latest Audi or Merc.

Omega with halogen bulbs... fair to middling.
Omega with xenon bulbs... pretty damn good (with good lenses).
Merc with Dynamic xenon and led combo... pretty king amazing.
Insignia with halogen bulbs... woeful.

Apparently the halogen lights on the Astra J are woeful too Brother has tasked me to find some better bulbs for SILs company Astra GTC... adaptive xenons were about the only option not ticked... brother specced it for her, and the 120 mile round commute in the dark is really starting to annoy her

Might try a set of Nightbreakers in the Insignia and see what they think before getting a set for her car

Can't be any worse than the stupid bint who nearly put seven people in hospital by failing to stop at a giveway earlier Pulled out about five feet infront of me without looking/indicating/braking

Only three things prevented me from driving straight into the side of her...
1. I saw her approaching the junction, and it was pretty clear that she hadn't looked or braked.
2. She turned left from my left so was travelling the same direction once she pulled out. If she'd turned right I would have ploughed straight through the drivers door.
3. There was no oncoming traffic, which gave me room to swerve.

I should have reported her really as I got absolutely no sense out of her and from her face she was somewhere near Neptune

Bowels and spleen vented (I don't call too many people 'King blind retarded Tuesdays' to their face), I was relieved simply to have missed her...

On the plus side, no one was hurt, the Insignia passed the elk test with flying colours and I got a £15 tip. Which was nice...

Saw a blue clit just after 7p.m. Friday night went down our road-which is pretty well lit-all lights ablaze,front fogs,rear fogs,everything bar the hazard flashers! Few minutes later as I was returning home[been out dog walking]on same road,same conditions a white Adam with no lights on at all!!Then yesterday lunch time another blue clit on a dual carriageway in the inside lane approaching roundabout began indicating left and took the third exit!!!!

80mph down a dark twisty country lane is a right of passage when you're 17/18 Tony!
