DDifficulty 3/5

A bus without a trailer and a lorry towing a trailer arrive simultaneously from opposite directions at a narrowing on a stretch without a steep gradient. Neither has entered and no signs or directions regulate passage. If one must reverse, which will it be?

Correct answer

The bus without a trailer.

The bus. In Article 62’s order, the lorry-and-trailer combination has priority over a passenger transport vehicle. Not every special vehicle ranks first: the initial category concerns those exceeding prescribed mass or dimensions; special vehicles within those limits rank lower. Signs, directions, prior entry or a steep gradient require applying their corresponding rules before this order. A subjective comparison of which seems easier to manoeuvre is not sufficient.

All options

  • The bus without a trailer.

  • The lorry with a trailer, because buses always have priority.

  • Either one: the prescribed order does not distinguish these vehicles.
