Who has right of way?

Now i used to think it was traffic joining the slip road, until i heard that this was changed now traffic on the carriageway has right of way.

Partly i think due to increased traffic, so you're more likely to have someone on the outside blocking you anyway.

So i think the latter, he thinks the former.

Who is right?

Well i did take my test 20 years ago, so it was different back then?

And to those of you questioning my reasoning

What he said. Cars joining from a slip road have never had priority (unless we're talking +20 years ago).

Hah oh well one can but hope

Perhaps my instructor left a lot to be desired, this guy at work who is btw a good bit older than me swore blind it was the joining traffic that had right of way.

I won't bother saying as he is an arrogant, self assured plank.

I just needed to know if i was right.

Well that can apply to most situations nowadays.

Im of the belief that your treat everyone on the road like they're an idiot, and you'll rarely get caught out.

And touch wood it's served me well, though you still get a surprise now and then.

Ahem i said i believed the carriageway had right of way, and not the other way around

Stop turning my words around.

Your not reading it right, i said i "used" to.

In this day of age, you're 100% right.

You have to gun it, otherwise there's some bmw/audi up your backside because you're taking up their personal lane.

But that's another thread.
