    When you say merge does that mean that two lanes become one?

    If so then this rule applies:

    A driver in a line of traffic that is merging with one or more
    lines of traffic travelling in the same direction as the driver
    must give way to a vehicle in another line of traffic if any part
    of the vehicle is ahead of the driver's vehicle.

    In other words if they are in front they do indeed have right of way and you
    are in the wrong.

    i'll say it again....

    A driver in a line of traffic that is merging with one or more
    lines of traffic travelling in the same direction as the driver
    must give way to a vehicle in another line of traffic if any part
    of the vehicle is ahead of the driver's vehicle.

    You HAVE to give way if they are in front of you :)

  10. I'm pretty sure that only applies at merges where the lane dividing
    lines stop. If one vehicle needs to cross a broken line to "merge", its
    really "changing lanes" not "merging", and it _has_ to give way to
    traffic already in the other lane no matter whether its ahead or not.

    Yeah; I'm pretty much in this camp too.
    Mind you; if I signal and then some cockhead tries to close the gap I just
    pretend to not see them and change lanes anyway! I'm too old and grumpy to
    tolerate stupid power contests on the road.

    As an aside; am I a misogynist or do others also find that they get far
    less leeway from women drivers than they get from men?
    Women will never let me merge or change lanes and they will never make
    eye-contact with me (to engage in that non-verbal "you're right", "off you
    go" communicatey stuff... and frustratingly; they don't look at me for
    when I'M are nodding "after you".... AND they don't give me the
    acknowlegdment wave or nod when I let them in!!).
    But then again; I s'pose women don't spend a lot of time looking at me
    anyway.......

    No no no no ! Bloody Victorians ! You indicate AFTER you've changed
    lanes to show you really intended to do it and it wasn't an accident.

    Geez ! How would you go in Sydney, I ask you ? :)

    "So far Howard's luck has survived a great deal: his move to dismiss
    broken election pledges by distinguishing between "core" and "non-core"
    promises; his retrospectively time-limited "never ever" pledge on the

    ONLY if there is no dotted white line between you

    The lanes which dwindle down to nothing require the person in that lane
    to give way to any traffic in the lane that continues - the rules for
    crossing a dotted white line continue to apply - you can only do so
    after indicating and if it is safe to do so.

    So if you're in the lane that cuts off to nothing and you're half a car
    ahead of another car it is NOT legal to force your way across.
