You are turning left at an intersection and a pedestrian has already started crossing the road you are turning into. What must you do?
Answer: Give way to the pedestrian
Under NZ road rules, when turning at any intersection you must give way to pedestrians who are crossing the road you are turning into. This applies whether you are turning left or right.
You are driving along a main road when a vehicle from a side road on your right wants to enter your road at a T-intersection with no signs or signals. Who must give way?
Answer: The vehicle on the side road must give way to you
At a T-intersection, traffic on the terminating (side) road must give way to all vehicles on the continuing through-road, regardless of which direction they are coming from.
At an uncontrolled intersection you intend to go straight ahead. A vehicle to your right is also going straight ahead and your paths will cross. What must you do?
Answer: Give way to the vehicle on your right
At uncontrolled intersections in New Zealand, you must give way to any vehicle coming from your right when your paths cross. The 'give way to the right' rule applies even when both vehicles are going straight.
You are at a Give Way sign and a vehicle is approaching on the road you want to cross. If you pulled out now, that vehicle would need to brake slightly. What should you do?
Answer: Wait until you can enter without causing the other vehicle to change speed or direction
A Give Way sign means you must not proceed if it would require any other vehicle to change their speed or direction. You must wait until you can enter safely without affecting approaching traffic in any way.
You want to emerge from a private driveway onto a public road. A vehicle is approaching from your left along the public road. What must you do?
Answer: Give way to all vehicles and pedestrians already on the public road
When entering a public road from any private driveway, access way, or car park, you must give way to all vehicles and pedestrians already using the public road, regardless of which direction they are coming from.
Two vehicles are at an uncontrolled intersection intending to turn right from opposite directions. Their turning paths will not cross each other. Who must give way?
Answer: Neither vehicle needs to give way — both may turn right simultaneously
When two vehicles from opposite directions are both turning right and their paths do not intersect, there is no give way obligation between them. Both may complete their right turns at the same time.
