You are going straight ahead. Are you obliged to yield the right of way to the motorcyclist?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a residential street and approaching a junction where there are no signs that set the right of way; a motorcyclist is coming from the right. At an uncontrolled junction of equal roads the right-hand rule applies, so going straight on, you must give way to the vehicle from the right. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act states that a driver approaching a junction must exercise particular caution and give way to a vehicle coming from the right. A motorcycle is a vehicle like any other, and at the same time narrow and easy to miss behind a hedge or a parked car. You slow down before the junction, look to the right and let the motorcyclist go first.
