When making a left turn you ought to give way to

Explanation

To all — the motorcycle, the bus and the passenger car.

The "give way" sign has made your road minor, and the supplementary plate beneath it says the priority road comes from the left-hand arm and turns upwards; that is, the motorcycle on the left and the yellow bus opposite are both on the priority road and you must give way to both.

That leaves the silver car on the right. That arm is drawn thin on the supplementary plate, that is, it is minor like your own road. But between two equal-status roads priority belongs to the right, and that car is precisely on your right. So it too takes precedence, and altogether you must give way to all three. The answer "all" results from adding two different rules, not from one; that is what distinguishes it from the similar question with a different supplementary plate.

The exam trap is that the motorcyclist looks small in the corner of the picture and the mind does not take him seriously, or conversely that the silver car is eliminated because it is on a minor road. Get into the habit of examining each arm of the junction separately: first find whether it is a priority or minor road on the supplementary plate, then judge whether it is on your right or your left.

• The bus and the motorcycle are chosen correctly, but the silver car on the right is left out; between two equal-status roads the vehicle on the right takes precedence. • "Only the bus" means you have ignored both the motorcycle on the priority road and the car on the right; both take precedence over you.
