What do you do if another vehicle suddenly appears in front of you at an intersection, forcing the right of way?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. Limit the speed and prepare for sudden braking.
Explanation
In the photo you can see a taxi driving just in front of you on a roadway with several lanes, before a junction. When another vehicle enters the junction just in front of you and fails to give way, you reduce speed and prepare to stop - answer C.
The Road Traffic Act requires you to be careful, and when the circumstances show that another road user may behave incorrectly, you must not rely on them obeying the rules. Your right of way does not protect you from a collision - the most important thing is to avoid it. Going around it in a zigzag while using the horn (answer A) risks a collision with other vehicles, and in a bus - passengers falling over. Flashing your lights and driving up close (answer B) is aggression that only increases the danger. You slow down smoothly and, if necessary, brake harder, remembering the standing passengers.
