A free practice question for the Georgia permit test, with the answer explained.
Independent practice site. We're not the DDS and aren't connected to any government agency.
You're on an on-ramp, merging onto the expressway. Who has the right of way?
The rule
When your road merges into other traffic, adjust your speed and position to merge safely. On an expressway, the vehicles already on it have the right of way.
When you merge, the traffic already on the expressway goes first. Adjust your speed and position and merge into a safe gap.
From the Georgia Drivers' Manual, page 17. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DDS have the final word.
