Visual explanation · Limited-view junction

The hidden approach changes your speed

Question recap: A hedge hides traffic from the right at an unsigned junction.

Correct answer

Slow early enough to stop as the view opens.

Why this is correct

You do not need to imagine a hidden vehicle as a fact. You do need to leave time to respond if a vehicle appears.

Reduce speed early and keep a suitable position. Whether you need to stop depends on the view and traffic, rather than a rule to stop at every unsigned junction.
