Correct answer
- AYo en aplicación de la norma general.I do, under the general rule.
At a junction without signs, with a group of cyclists we apply the general right-of-way rule, that is, priority to the right. In this case the cyclists must give way to us, as we are on their right, unless one of them has already started to cross the junction. Then we must wait for the whole group to pass, because they count as a single unit. Cyclists have right of way over motor vehicles: - When they are riding on a properly signed cycle lane, cyclist crossing or hard shoulder. - When a motor vehicle turns right or left to enter another road, where this is allowed, and there is a cyclist nearby. - When they are riding in a group and the first one has already started to cross or has entered a roundabout.
