Name the control
Check for police directions, working signals and priority signs before applying a general rule. At otherwise unregulated junctions, traffic from the right generally has priority, with exceptions including field and forest tracks. The linked rules provide the legal context.
Distinguish an exit from a junction
A car arriving from a driveway or over a lowered kerb is a different situation. Drivers entering the road in those circumstances must avoid endangering others. In a question, look carefully at the edge of the road before deciding that the car is simply coming from the right.
Work through a simple practice scene
Draw a crossroads with no signs or signals. Place your car at the bottom and another car on your right. Explain the priority relationship. Now redraw the second car in a driveway. The aim is to notice how changing one feature changes your reasoning, rather than memorising a picture.
Check the whole situation
After deciding the priority relationship, ask who else you must observe and whether the view is clear. A correct theory answer is not permission to proceed without observation. If you cannot explain which feature determined your answer, read the explanation and try a different question.
Describe the control and the road entrance before naming the first vehicle to move.
