About Turning: right turn goes before oncoming left turn: which statement is correct?

Explanation

This rule applies exclusively between two drivers turning towards each other at the same junction. Straight-ahead traffic and pedestrians always go before turning traffic, including right-turning traffic

Why learners get this wrong

• This rule only applies if the oncoming driver is ALSO turning (right). If that driver goes straight ahead, the ordinary turning rule applies instead: the left-turner gives way to the straight-ahead oncoming traffic
• The text speaks of 'drivers' in general, without distinguishing by vehicle type. An oncoming cyclist or moped rider turning right still goes before the left-turning car
• The rule is not about who stood still first, but about which way each driver turns: the right-turner goes before the left-turner, regardless of waiting time
