When coming up to this junction, who has right of way? I'd have thought the answer to be a) no one or b) the bike, but cars steam through that junction so you have to be careful. There's a similar one with the one way going the other way, and it's the same situation (cars don't slow down for it).

Also another question, more of liability I guess. If your filtering in the following situation, and the bus lane is open to cars, but they're not using it what would happen in an accident (apart from the biker ending up in hospital... obviously).

Since you drive on the left side of the road, I'd say you give way to vehicles coming from the left, so the motorcycle in the first picture should go first.
BUT, there can be a traffic sign that says otherwise.
EDIT: By the way, if you drive on the right side of the road, you give way to vehicles coming from the right. Keep that in mind when you cross the channel. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ

If the biker has any brains he'd give way to the car right or wrong. It's natural to expect a vehicle at a side road to give way to you when you're taking the road ahead so it's very likely that is exactly what the car driver is going to assume. If the car's not indicating, assume it's coming through and les it pass. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

1st pic is just a one way road with a T junction. Strange that it has give way markings? It only needs no entry. Car gets right of way, unless its a hesitant fucker
Second pic, they dont have to use the bus lane. You overtake on the white lines at your risk. Its often perfectly safe with oncoming traffic but I assume accident is bikes fault, unless they do something careless. |

You would always give way to the right, regardless.
Mini roundabouts can be particularly annoying if vehicles arrive from all directions at the same time:

Essentially you'd have to sit there until someone moves, but whoever does would be liable in the event of any accident. ____________________

This sort of junction although is for the passive, you can take control by your road action, hang back from the line, you are giving priority in an obvious way peep and creep and you are letting others give you priority (remember you don't take it) ____________________ Famous last words of Humpty Dumpty.

He who moves first has right of way....(I say he, because a she would hardly ever move first, unless it's a she texting and not stopping anyway)...Or as I've said to Mrs D when she's been driving in that situation....fucking hell love, should I have brought sandwiches? ____________________ I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realise that what you heard is not exactly what I meant |
