About Shark's teeth: give way, not a stop requirement: which statement is WRONG?
- Shark's teeth are themselves a traffic sign and are binding, even without a sign next to them.
- Without shark's teeth or priority signs the main rule applies at junctions: priority to drivers from the right.
- Shark's teeth mean: give way, not a stop requirement.
- ✓ If a junction has neither shark's teeth nor a sign, no right-of-way rule applies at all.
Correct answer: If a junction has neither shark's teeth nor a sign, no right-of-way rule applies at all.
Explanation
If shark's teeth and signs are absent, the main rule automatically applies: priority to drivers from the right. No sign never means 'no rule'
Why learners get this wrong
- Shark's teeth are themselves a traffic sign and are binding, even without a sign next to them. The legal duty is directly in the marking
- Without shark's teeth or priority signs the main rule applies at junctions: priority to drivers from the right. The width or busyness of the road does not regulate priority
- Shark's teeth mean: give way, not a stop requirement. A full stop is only mandatory where sign B7 explicitly requires it, at the stop line
