changing lanes
Apr 09^th, 2009, 7:26pm

hi,
i am traveling on roads with multiple lanes and i need to change lane. if the other lanes are busy but i need to get across can i put my right signal on to show my intention and hope someone slows to create a gap if there is no available gap. My worry would be if you wait for there to be a clear gap before signaling you could miss your turning or lane.
i know the rules of not getting another road user to s.s.s.s. but in this situation are the rules different?
