1. Identify the decisive details
A car approaches from your right at an unsigned junction, but it is leaving a private driveway. You continue along the public road. Who must give way?
2. Compare the possible decisions
- The driver leaving the driveway.
- I must give way because the car comes from the right.
- The driver who reached the junction last.
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A · The driver leaving the driveway.
Leaving a private driveway is a manoeuvre: that driver gives way to other road users. The direction of approach and arrival order do not reverse this obligation. Still avoid a foreseeable collision.
3. What changes if the situation changes?
If that car instead followed a public road, ordinary priority-to-the-right could apply. Identify a driveway before applying that rule.
