Changing lanes to the adjacent zone in this situation

Explanation

You must give way to the drivers travelling in that lane. The rule is simple and admits no exception: when changing lanes, the driver changing lanes must give way to same-direction vehicles travelling in that lane without changing course; and if two vehicles move into the same lane at once, priority goes to the one on the right. In the picture the right indicator is on — the green arrow is visible on the instrument panel — and the silver car is travelling in the right-hand lane, so you do not hold priority: adjust your speed and gap so that the other driver need not brake or swerve, and only then move across. Lane-change collisions almost always begin in the blind spot, and an indicator only announces intent.
