This podcast is a short explanation that when dealing with meeting traffic with a learner - it is important for them to know in what circumstances they have priority to progress.
In simple terms - if the blockage is on our side of the road we do not have priority, If the blockage is on the other side of the road and our lane is clear then we normally have priority.
Blockages are normally parked cars or other obstructions.
When cars on both sides of the road, then have situation called a 50/50 and neither party has priority and you have to look and plan ahead and anticipate what others are doing.
We talk about hills and how this impacts priorities - if its a 50/50 you should give way to traffic coming up a hill because it is difficulty to get going uphill.
If 50/50 and both approaching the pinch point together have to look and see what others are doing, consider holding back.
Do not flash lights because it can be misinterpreted by others and pedestrians.
We cannot guarantee others will do what they are expected to do, but sometimes cars don't hold back for you, for whatever reason (misjudge speed and distance or just might be arrogant and push through).
A good lesson for your learner is to consider: no matter if you have priority always expect the unexpected and be ready to react and hold back.
