Priority at an unmarked junction with a cyclist and a tram

First, the absence of priority signs means the general right-hand rule applies between the ordinary road users: the vehicle coming from the right has priority. The cyclist in the cycle lane to your right therefore goes before you. Second, turning left means you cross the path of oncoming traffic, so you must yield to the tram coming from the opposite direction. Trams on rails are treated specially: they generally have priority over other traffic turning across their path, and their stopping distance is enormous because steel wheels on steel rails give very little grip. Third, the car behind flashing its lights has no priority at all; its impatience does not change the rules, and you must not be pushed into the junction. So your order is: cyclist first, tram second, you last. Because the cyclist is on a marked lane, check the mirror and blind spot before you swing across it - a left turn can cut the lane if you drift wide. The wet, newly greasy surface means you brake earlier and turn more gently, and you wait until the tram has fully cleared before completing the turn.

I do not let the pressure change my decision. I slow early and smoothly with a gentle brake application so the follower sees my intention, and I stop before the junction line rather than creeping into it. I keep the wheels straight while waiting so that, if I am hit from behind, the car is not pushed into the tram's path. I signal left in good time. I do not wave the follower past or make apologetic gestures that could be misread. Once the junction is clear and the tram has passed, I complete the turn at a moderate pace, then let the follower go if it is safe - for example by keeping right on a straight section rather than braking suddenly. If the tailgating continues and feels dangerous, I note the registration and report it; I do not confront the driver. The rain after a dry spell makes the surface unusually slippery, so a bigger gap ahead is my own protection as well.
