Correct answer
The lorry must reverse.
The lorry. If it is unclear who entered first, priority follows the manoeuvring-difficulty order, which places collective passenger vehicles ahead of rigid lorries. If the first vehicle to enter is known, its priority applies. A trailer combination or a steep gradient can change the applicable rule. Reversing distance decides between vehicles of the same type or unlisted cases; it does not replace the bus-versus-lorry order here.
