Correct answer

  • BNo.No.
Explanation

At a junction with a group of cyclists we apply the rule of priority to the right. If one of the cyclists had already crossed the junction, we would have to wait for the whole group to finish passing, 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.
