You are going straight at a crossroads with no sign on your road. A vehicle on your right faces a give way sign. Must you give way to it?
Answer: No, it must give way to you, but stay alert in case it does not
The give way to the right rule does not apply when a stop or give way sign or line applies to the other driver. Even so, be ready to avoid a collision.

How does a stop sign differ from a give way sign in what you must do?
Answer: A stop sign needs a full stop; give way needs a stop only if needed
Give way at a stop sign means remaining stationary until safe. At a give way sign it means slowing down and stopping only if needed to avoid a collision.

A stop sign has a white stop line across your lane. Where must you stop your vehicle?
Answer: As close as is practical to the line, but before reaching it
You must stop as near as practicable to, but before reaching, the stop line. Stopping past it blocks the view and the path of other road users.
