A wave and a hidden cyclist

A fictional German road exercise describes an ordinary unregulated junction with no special driveway or other exception. A vehicle approaches from the learner's right. That driver waves, while a parked delivery vehicle blocks part of the view and a cyclist may be approaching through the obscured area. The learner feels pressure from traffic behind to enter immediately. The exercise does not provide proof that the cyclist has stopped or that the waving driver controls every possible conflict. It asks how the default priority information and the uncertain observations should be combined. A correct answer may acknowledge an apparent offer to yield but must not treat it as a universal clearance. No real vehicle movement, official examination image or calibrated response time is supplied.

1. What must the learner avoid assuming?

Do not assume that the wave resolves every conflict or makes the obscured area empty. The ordinary priority context and each other road user still need appropriate observation.

2. How should pressure from behind affect the decision?

It does not establish that entering is safe. Proceed only when the relevant conflicts and uncertainty have been resolved under the actual rules and conditions.
