Visual explanation · Equal-priority junction

Giving way did not reserve the junction

Question recap: You have yielded to a car while a cyclist approaches from the left.

Correct answer

Look across the junction again before deciding to enter.

Why this is correct

At this ordinary equal-priority junction, the cyclist from your left normally gives way to you. Their approach still matters if they do not appear to be slowing.

Look before entering, then decide from their position and behaviour. Do not surrender priority automatically, and do not force a conflict because you have priority.
