Zorluk: OrtaPriority and Right of Way

At a mini-roundabout, you intend to drive straight ahead. A cyclist is approaching from your immediate right, and an oncoming lorry driver indicates a right turn while flashing their headlights. How should you assess priority and proceed?

  1. Give way to the cyclist approaching from the right and allow the lorry sufficient room to manoeuvre before proceedingCevap
  2. B
    Enter the roundabout immediately, assuming the lorry's flashed headlights mean you have been granted priority
  3. C
    Accelerate ahead of the cyclist from the right to clear the junction before the lorry moves across your path
  4. D
    Pass closely along the inside of the turning lorry to proceed straight ahead while it manoeuvres

Cevap

Give way to the cyclist approaching from the right and allow the lorry sufficient room to manoeuvre before proceeding
Under Highway Code Rule 188, drivers must give way to traffic approaching from the right at mini-roundabouts, meaning the cyclist has priority. Additionally, flashing headlights must never be assumed as an invitation to proceed (Rule 110), and large vehicles need ample space and time to negotiate compact roundabouts.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Assess roundabout priority rules for traffic approaching from the right
Identify that the cyclist approaching from the right has priority to enter the mini-roundabout
Highway Code Rule 188 requires drivers to give way to traffic approaching from the right at mini-roundabouts
2
Interpret the oncoming lorry driver's actions and signals
Recognise that flashed headlights only signal presence and that the lorry requires extra road width to complete its turn
Highway Code Rule 110 states flashing headlights must not be used to convey priority, and large vehicles need extra room at compact junctions
3
Determine the safe, courteous sequence of movement
Wait patiently behind the give-way line until the cyclist has passed and the lorry has cleared the junction
Prevents collision, avoids blocking the junction, and respects vulnerable road users and large vehicles
