At a T-intersection with no traffic lights, you want to turn left out of the side road onto the main road. Car B, from your left, is passing in front of you right now, and bicycle A is coming from your right. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) wants to turn left out of the side road onto the main road
- Car B from the left is passing through the intersection
- Bicycle A is approaching on the main road from the right
At an intersection without traffic control, a vehicle turning left must yield to vehicles going straight, and a bicycle counts as a 'vehicle' (Article 26(4) and Article 2(17) of the Road Traffic Act). Once one vehicle passes it is tempting to go at once, but that is when people miss the other side and the duty to make a temporary stop (Article 31(2)).
Answer: ④, ⑤
Explanation
At an intersection without traffic control, a vehicle turning left must yield to vehicles going straight, and since a bicycle is also a vehicle, you must yield to A too (Road Traffic Act Article 26(4)). You must drive slowly at an uncontrolled intersection (Article 31(1)) and make a temporary stop where you cannot see left and right or traffic is heavy (Article 31(2)). Moving off as soon as car B has passed, or cutting in front of a slow bicycle, risks hitting A coming from the right.
