The driver of which vehicle has first priority?

Explanation

The truck driver has priority and the bus must wait. Priority is never decided by size, weight, carrying passengers, or running a fixed route; the order is always the same — police officer, then traffic lights, then priority signs (major road against minor), then the tram's priority in otherwise equal conditions, and finally the right-hand rule. The practical way to solve such questions is to ask whose path crosses whose: the vehicle that cuts across the other's path is the one that must stop. Here the bus must cross in front of the truck, so the truck goes first, and giving way means making no movement that forces the other to change course or slow down.
