I give way to the circulating car.
The circulating car must stop for every entering car.
The larger car always goes first.

Correct answer: A

At a properly signed roundabout, entering traffic gives way to traffic already circulating. Signal before leaving and check for cyclists and pedestrians on the exit. A direction indicator announces your intention; it never gives automatic priority.

Exit without checking because you are on the roundabout.
Signal the exit and check the exit for other users.
An indicator makes every cyclist stop for you.

Question 10

B5 is on your road at the same place as a working green traffic light. What governs priority?

B5 always demands a stop despite the working green light.
Follow the working light while observing the other applicable duties.
Green cancels every restriction and speed limit.

Show the answer and explanation
