When a driver gives “right of way”, it means that:

1. He merges with traffic without causing an accident
2. Correct answer: He allows other drivers to continue driving without causing them to change their speed or to stop
3. He barely manages to push into the traffic flow
4. He enters the traffic flow in the same speed as the other vehicles.

WhyGiving way means acting so the other driver can carry on without slowing down or changing lane. If they had to brake or swerve, you did not give way.
