If another vehicle signals you to go first at a junction, what should you do?

• A. Ignore their signal and go after them
• B. Immediately pull out
• C. Observe, yield as needed, and proceed when safe
• D. Speed up to beat them

Answer: (C)

At a junction, safety comes from observing what other road users are doing and acting only when it’s safe. If another vehicle signals you to go first, treat that as them giving you the right of way, but don’t rush. You should scan the intersection for any pedestrians, cyclists, or other vehicles, check your mirrors and blind spots, and wait for a clear, safe gap. If it’s safe, proceed smoothly; if not, wait a bit longer. Don’t ignore the signal, don’t pull out immediately, and don’t speed to beat them. Yielding as needed and going when it’s safe keeps you and others protected while respecting the other driver’s cue.
