At a junction without priority signs, with all roads paved and no other special priority circumstances, a car approaches from a lorry’s right and the lorry from a motorcycle’s right. Nobody approaches from the car’s right. Which vehicle has priority in this situation?

Correct answer

The car.

The car. Under article 57 of the General Traffic Regulations, in the stated situation give way to vehicles approaching from the right: the lorry gives way to the car and the motorcycle to the lorry. Being heavier or being a motorcycle does not grant priority. Check signs and special cases before applying this rule, such as unpaved versus paved roads or vehicles travelling on rails.
