72  Giving way at an intersection (except a T–intersection or roundabout)
 (1) A driver at an intersection (except a T‑intersection or roundabout) without traffic lights or a stop sign, stop line, give way sign or give way line, must give way in accordance with this rule.
Offence provision.
Note 1: Give way line, intersection, stop line, T–intersection and traffic lights are defined in the dictionary, and roundabout is defined in rule 109.
Note 2: For this rule, give way means the driver must slow down and, if necessary, stop to avoid a collision—see the definition in the dictionary.
 (2) If the driver is going straight ahead, the driver must give way to any vehicle approaching from the right, unless a stop sign, stop line, give way sign or give way line applies to the driver of the approaching vehicle.
