Why that is the answer
At an unmarked junction, no driver has automatic priority. The Highway Code states that priority should be given, not taken. You must approach with caution, slow down, and be prepared to stop if another vehicle appears. Never assume another driver will give way to you, regardless of how large, small, or fast their vehicle is. Check in all directions carefully and proceed only when it is safe to do so.
How this comes up in the real test
Questions from rules of the road appear throughout the 50-question multiple-choice section, and the wording changes between versions. Learn the rule rather than the sentence: the DVSA can ask the same point from the opposite direction, and a memorised answer falls over the moment the phrasing moves.
The pass mark is 43 out of 50, so seven wrong answers is your entire margin. If a whole category is shaky, run the topic practice below until you are getting every question right for the right reason, then go back to full mocks under the clock.
