Look only to the leftTraffic from the right has priority, so you look there first.
A strong answer
The junction has no signs, so right before left applies. I approach slowly and ready to brake, look right first and give way to the car from the right. I also look left and watch for cyclists and pedestrians. When everything is clear, I go straight on.
What the law says
§ 8 (1) StVO: at junctions, whoever comes from the right has priority unless signs or lights say otherwise.
Quick check
At an unmarked junction a car comes from the left, nobody from the right. Who goes first?
- The car from the left
- You, but carefully and ready to brake
- Whoever is faster
Show the answer
B. For the car on the left you come from the right, so you have priority. Still drive ready to brake in case the other driver does not give way.
