Question 706 in the bank

Do you (vehicle no. 3) have to give right-of-way to the cyclist (2) in the roundabout?

A view from the driver's seat through the windscreen towards a roundabout with a round blue sign at its centre. A cyclist marked 2 is riding in the roundabout. A red arrow from the cyclist curves towards the entrance, another red arrow from the vehicle points upwards, and a dashboard is marked 3.
  1. No, because the cyclist always yields to other vehicles.
  2. No, it depends on my good will.
  3. Correct answer: Yes, always
  4. No, the rules of right-of-way in a roundabout do not apply to cyclists.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, always

A cyclist drives a vehicle for all purposes, and the rules of right of way apply to the cyclist, and in the cyclist's favour, as they do to any other vehicle. A vehicle entering a roundabout must give right of way to any vehicle already inside the roundabout, so vehicle 3 must wait for the cyclist. Right of way does not depend on the driver's good will, and you should not count on the cyclist giving way.
