DDifficulty 3/5

At a junction with no signs or officers regulating priority, a bus approaches from an unpaved road and a car approaches from its left on a paved road. Who must give way?

Correct answer

The bus driver, because they come from the unpaved road.

The bus driver. Without priority signs, vehicles on a paved road have priority over those coming from an unpaved road, even when approaching from the left. This exception overrides the general give-way-to-the-right rule. Vehicle size or how far someone would have to reverse does not decide this junction. Give way without forcing the priority vehicle to change speed or path abruptly.
