A seemingly simple road rules quiz has confused hundreds of Australian drivers. NSW Road Safety took to Facebook with a simple diagram and the question: 'Which car must give way?' The graphic showed two vehicles, with car A slightly ahead of car B, having to merge together to form one lane. More than 180 people debated the baffling question on Sunday. Scroll down for the answer The seemingly simple question prompted a robust discussion among more than 180 drivers  The two lanes are merging in what is called a 'zipper merge', so the car in front (Car A) has right of way.

But some motorists were left confused by the question. 'Whoever waves at the other driver first?' wrote one. Another wrote a long and convoluted piece about what possible circumstances could surround the cars.  'We have indicators, so
