Correct answer
- BSí, pues debo tratarlos como si de una unidad se tratase.Yes, because I must treat them as a single unit.
If we and the cyclists arrived at the same time, we would have right of way, because the cyclists are coming from the left. But if we reach the junction when the first cyclist in the group has already started to cross, we must treat the whole group as one unit, so we must wait until the last cyclist has passed.
