Cevap

Slow down, look in all directions, and be prepared to stop, as neither driver has automatic priority at an unmarked crossroads.
Under UK Highway Code rules, no road user holds automatic priority at an unmarked crossroads. Drivers must approach with caution, scan all approaches, reduce speed, and be prepared to stop to avoid a collision.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify that the junction is an unmarked crossroads without priority signs, road markings, or traffic lights.
Recognise that standard right-of-way rules do not grant automatic priority to any vehicle on any approach.
The Highway Code establishes that no road user has right of way at uncontrolled and unmarked crossroads.
2
Reduce vehicle speed smoothly on approach and perform comprehensive observations across all junction arms.
The driver gains sufficient time and space to react to approaching traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists.
Approaching at a controlled speed allows the driver to assess potential conflicts safely.
3
Be fully prepared to stop and negotiate passage courteously once intentions are clear.
A safe passage is negotiated without risking a collision.
Defensive driving requires anticipating that other road users may not yield.
