Should implies that yes you should but you don't have to. Unfortunately the use of such a soft word has enabled people to wriggle out of carrying out actions that in hindsight must be done. Sometimes with serious consequences.

It is "should" because its advisory and its advisory because it is the Highway code none of which is law. Chris.S.

Many of the rules in The Highway Code are legal requirements, and if you disobey these rules you are committing a criminal offence. You may be fined, given penalty points on your licence or be disqualified from driving. In the most serious cases you may be sent to prison. Such rules are identified by the use of the words ‘MUST/MUST NOT’

Lane 1 veers off, at some point the lane markings between lane 1 and 2 change. At 1 mile there is a sign advising where lanes 1,2 and 3 go but the white lines between 1 and 2 stay the same. What I seem not to have understood from your posts is where lane 1 becomes a slip lane, is it at the 1 mile marker or where the white lines between lane 1 and 2 change. I get lane 1 is for driving the rest are overtaking but as lane 1 veers off drivers that want to go straight on need to move to lane 2 which may well become the new lane 1. macafee2 |

[QUOTE=macafee2;2902759]sorry mate it seems I dont understand what you are saying about the slip lane.

Or where a Motorway diverges as in say the M5 merges with the M42?

Currently thinking abut one junction but i guess in general will be the same. The sign is on a motorway. The short white lines that for me denote the start of a slip lane, are on the motorway but the motorway then ends and all lanes end up at a traffic light controlled junction macafee2 |

Here's a pragmatic answer.
Lane 1 only becomes a slip lane or road when it has physically slipped off the main carriageway i.e. after the final countdown marker. The time to change lanes would be between the first sign and the change of lines between lane 1 and 2. |
