TMR put this up on their Facebook asking who has to give way, but that's too easy. A much more complicated question is: what does the law say around indicating?

I've seen people say only blue must indicate, others say both must indicate, and yet others say neither must indicate. Which is correct?

@CTDummy @Zagorath 'scuse my butting in from over Masto way.
Going by Qld Road Rules:
From what you've quoted CTDummy, neither would need to "cross a broken line" - the line marking just ends. The car "should" indicate, and as the "in front" vehicle, gets to go first. The motorbike does not need to indicate.
If the left lane had markings that went all the way into a lane-ending merge, the car gives way to the bike.
The link below does not talk about indicating, and I don't indicate if I am in the left lane in this scenario.

No worries, the more in the fediverse the merrier.

Yes, that lines up with my comment. I’m providing alternatives as examples. The rest of your comment is pretty much what I’ve said in mine.
