An ordinary rigid lorry and a bus reach a narrowing at the same time and cannot pass each other. There are no priority signs, it is not a steep section and neither entered first. Who must reverse to yield?

Correct answer

The lorry.

The lorry. In this scenario Article 62’s order applies: a bus precedes a lorry. Width, weight or length does not decide priority between these two different types. Signs, prior entry and steep-section rules can change the analysis, which is why those circumstances are excluded here.
