What do you do if another vehicle suddenly appears in front of you at an intersection, forcing the right of way?

Explanation

Correct answer: Limit the speed and prepare for sudden braking.

In a situation where another driver fails to give way, the overriding duty is to avoid a collision, even if you have the right of way. Therefore, you should immediately reduce your speed and be prepared to stop, applying the principle of limited trust. Acting in this way prevents an accident resulting from the error of another road user.
