What is the correct order of passage at this intersection?
Explanation 🚗🔄: 1️⃣ The green car has priority on the right over the blue car, and it also has priority over the pink car on the left until the next intersection ✅. It therefore goes in first gear. 2️⃣ The blue car must give way to the green car but has no one on its right after the green car has passed. It can then continue in second gear. 3️⃣ The pink car is turning left and must give way to the others. In addition, it is performing a maneuver, and in the highway code, a vehicle performing a maneuver never has priority ❌. It therefore goes last. Tip 💡📍: ➡️ “Priority to the right + the person maneuvering always goes last” ✅many vehicles have a give way sign, apply priority to the right, and remember that those performing a maneuver (like turning left) are always last 🚗🔄.

I want to turn left at this intersection. What should I do?
Explanation 👮♂️🚦: When I meet a police officer at an intersection, it is the position of his body that counts, not his arms. ➡️ If the officer is facing me from behind or facing me, it becomes a red light 🚦🛑.

It is the position of the agent’s body that indicates whether to stop or move forward 🚗📍.

I want to turn left at this intersection. Do I have priority over horse riders?
Explanation: Riders are selected as drivers, and the right-of-way rule applies. If the rider is coming from your right, they have right-of-way, but here you are on the right-of-way road and the rider is coming from the opposite direction. When turning left, you maintain right-of-way because the rider has no specific right-of-way. Tip: 👉 “Riders = drivers.
