    Are you sure that's why she failed her test? I doubt that's the reason, if it was safe to proceed without stopping.
    There's no need to stop there if she is approaching from where the red arrow is. That line on the road simply indicates that it's a one way street, mainly for informational purposes for the drivers emerging out of the side road.

    If you look carefully at the second picture, the side road has yield markings on the road, as well as a yield sign, so cars emerging from there are required to yield to traffic on the 'main' road, e.g. cars coming from the red arrow.

    However, having said that, the side road is at an awkward angle so if I was a car approaching from the red arrow I would keep that in mind as a potential hazard - it'll be hard for you to gauge whether the driver emerging from the sideroad has eye contact with you, so always expect the unexpected!

    I would slow down when approaching and if it is clear proceed through without stopping. Although the right of way might be on your side, you really never know who or what is going to come whizzing around the sliproad with no regard for other road users.

    No need to stop there, she could see if the junction was clear on approach. She obviously did something else to warrant a fail.

    Thats not a junction marking it's a marking to indicate that the road she was on is one way. However given the merging of the other road she could well have failed on not looking.

    I assume you mean failed as she got a pink mark - e.g. dangerous action. I'm wondering how you know as the testers can't discuss specifics with you. Although to be fair you get a pretty good idea of when you did something wrong. She would have had to really belt down there with the head locked forward to get a pink though. I failed mine on not being able to see around parked cars turning left and I had to do that 4 times before he failed me. (I could see, but he couldn't see that I could see - good tip make sure they see you see... if thats not confusing :P)

    I note you started off if the legal disccusion section but if you were able to prove the tester failed her without cause the best outcome (on application to the District Court) is a free retest - the results can't be changed.

    You don't say if there was other veicles/cyclists/pedestrians at the junction. Just because a driver has right of way at a junction it doesn't mean that one can carry on regardless. Generally a driver with right of way may only proceed if the juction is clear and it is safe to do so.

    In saying that though, visibility is good as opposed to a similar junction with high hedging/walls.

    OP - where is that - Monaghan?
