A driver wishes to go straight ahead at a cross junction of equal importance. If they encounter other traffic, what is the general rule that applies?

  1. A.Give way to traffic approaching from the left only.
  2. B.Give way to traffic approaching firstly from the left and then the right.
  3. C.Carry on as normal as they always have the right of way.
  4. D.Traffic approaching from the driver's right has right of way.
Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. Traffic approaching from the driver's right has right of way.

If a driver is at a junction where the roads are of equal importance, traffic on the driver's right has the right of way. The driver must let that traffic pass before moving on. It is important to understand that the right of way is not an absolute right. Drivers must proceed with caution whilst showing regard for other users of the road.
