Correct answer
The lorry, in the stated conditions.
The lorry, which ranks before three-wheeled vehicles under Article 62(1). Earlier entry, signs and instructions and a steep gradient are excluded so that order applies. It does not have priority in every circumstance: applicable instructions, signs or steep-gradient rules can change the outcome. The greater reversing-distance criterion applies to vehicles of the same type or unlisted cases rather than replacing the order between these categories.
