1L,

If you pull up to a T junction to turn left, where you need to ‘give way to’ traffic, and there’s a car doing 30mph 500m to your right, do you stay where you are and wait, or do you judge that you can pull out and accelerate to normal speed without causing any hazard to the approaching car because it’s so far away?

Or crossing oncoming traffic to turn right?….Do you wait until you cannot see any oncoming cars at all, even though you have good visibility ahead? Yes, you must ‘give way to’ oncoming traffic, but that means you make a judgement as to when it’s safe to cross and go, not just wait for every car to pass you no matter how far away it is.
