C1Difficulty 3/5

In an unsignposted narrow passage on level ground, a rigid lorry and a bus, both without trailers, entered at the same time and cannot pass each other. No officer or staff directs passage. Which must reverse under the order of precedence?

Correct answer

The lorry.

The lorry. Article 62 places buses ahead of lorries in this scenario. Neither is a trailer combination, which belongs to another category, and this is not a steep-gradient section. For vehicles of the same type or unlisted types, Article 62.2 considers reversing distance and, if equal, width, length or MAM. Do not interpret it as giving every special vehicle unconditional precedence: the first category concerns special vehicles exceeding regulatory masses or dimensions.
