Practise right of way
Who goes first? Practise crossroads until you know it without thinking.
Right of way is one of the topics where the most points are lost. Often not because the rule is hard, but because you miss one detail.
So always look at signs, shark's teeth and traffic lights first. Only if there are none do the normal rules apply.
Need to know
- At an uncontrolled junction, traffic from the right has right of way.

- If you're coming from an exit, a residential zone or a dirt road, give way to all traffic.
- When you turn, you give way to traffic on the same road going straight ahead, cyclists too.
- Let emergency vehicles with flashing lights and a siren through as quickly as it is safe to do so.
