Correct answer
The lorry you are driving.
The lorry, under the order in Article 62: lorries, tractor units and vans precede motorcycles with sidecar. Priority between these categories is not decided by reversing distance or an assumed lack of reverse gear on the motorcycle. Reversing distance is used for vehicles of the same type or unlisted cases. The first legal category includes special vehicles or special-transport vehicles exceeding regulatory masses or dimensions; special vehicles that do not exceed them have another position.
