The yellow car will drive through the intersection:

Explanation

Last.

The yellow diamond in the middle of the picture with the supplementary plate beneath it shows that the priority road turns at this junction: the priority road comes from the red car's side and goes into the green car's road. The blue car's road and the yellow car's road are both minor, and facing the yellow car the red octagonal "stop" sign is posted.

So first the priority-road cars pass; between those two the right-hand rule governs, and since the green car comes from the red car's right, green is first and red second. Then it is the turn of the two minor-road cars: the blue car enters the junction from the yellow car's right, so blue is third and the yellow car last.

The "stop" sign adds one condition to "give way": you must halt completely behind the stop line or the edge of the carriageway, even if the road appears clear. The reason is the restricted visibility at junctions of this kind; a complete stop gives you time to turn your head and genuinely see both directions of the priority road. The exam trap is thinking that the yellow car goes earlier because it stands on the right of the others; being on the minor road and the stop sign destroy that advantage completely.

• "First" would mean the yellow car has priority, whereas the stop sign obliges it to halt completely and give way to everyone. • "Second" would be possible only if the yellow car were on the priority road; the supplementary plate shows the priority road turning from red's side towards green's, and the yellow car's road is minor. • "Third" would mean the yellow car goes before the blue car, but blue comes from its right, and the right-hand rule holds between two minor-road vehicles as well.
