yuncka: The highway code says we should give way for traffic on the left. So C will go first, followed by A, den B goes last.
Accident of the year! ...BTW the rule of "give way to traffic on the left" is meant mainly for roundabouts.

Wrong my friend, it applies to every Junction where one has to give way ie T junctions? cross roads? fly overs? Turning into a Lay-by or side street? as you see the list are endless.

Alright sir, I have reason to agree with you to some extent on the "give way to traffic on ur left" Ish. But it cannot apply to the traffic illustration above.

In Nigeria, all 3 will go at the same time and stopping will depend on the order of "least nerves" smiley

Not this time. Do not forget that the illustration is of a right hand drive scenerio so the rule will change to 'give way to traffic on your right'.

A vehicle on the highway has priority over the one trying to join the highway from an access road which fits perfectly to the rule. So A goes 1st, then B then C. B does not get priority from the give way rule because he is intersecting so should wait. B and C would have signaled cars behind them which they must patiently wait. A has no turn and no signal so should have priority to avoid conflicts with those behind him.

Firstly, whoever designed that road should be jailed. There should be a dashed line in front of car C which means he should stop first on getting there. This singular action will void the "give way to traffic on the left rule". Car A is well within his rights to continue unimpeded. So with the small flaw in road design corrected, Car A should go first, then car B and C can go however they want.

Common sense should prevail; driving habit in Naija could be quite appalling.

C is approaching a junction therefore should stop and allow A to proceed. So A first before C.
B is intersecting and normally should stop for A.

Despite the so call right of way, A should proceed with caution, average Naija driver has the feeling of being right all the time.
