To ask whose right of way it was? (with pic)

[AngeloMysterioso]

Two cars pulling into the same road from two roads which end opposite each other. Car A is turning right and Car B is turning left. Both had to wait for a few cars to pass in the direction they were travelling and then both pulled out at the same time, very nearly colliding.

Whose right of way was it?

YANBU - Car A’s right of way
YABU - Car B’s right of way

B

but if it was me in postion B, I'd always flash A to go first if its clear for them to do so as I understand it's harder for them yet easier for B to get out.

Yes and I would do the same at times

For those saying that car A has priority, would they say that the same is true in the case of this T-junction?
It amounts to the same thing.

This makes me see why some people don't use indicators. If you wanted to turn left but weren't sure if the person opposite indicating right would try to turn ahead of you, there's an argument that if you didn't indicate that would suggest you were going straight ahead and it would be clear that the right-turner shouldn't just dive across your bows. If the oncoming driver wasn't stupid enough to do just that then you could nip safely round to the left.

No, I don't actually suggest not using indicators.

While the OP was correct, according to most people, she was obviously also being cautious enough because no collision occurred.
