I want to have another go at it. You have to yield!

Woo hoo ASCI graphics.  SOOOO  we have an intersection The southbound car wants to cross traffic and turn left. A north bound gent wants to turn right but NOT at the intersection (illigal, or no room, right?) you have to take a "side road" very small just a little leg. There is an island to your left. Now if a east bound car was coming through the intersection you would have NO problem yielding to them (right?) So from your frame of reference IGNORE all southbound cars. JUST look for cars heading east. The tricky part is when does the Southbound guy(the guy turning) become a east bound car. I think that he becomes an east bound car before you do. HE IS ALREADY heading east by the time you would hit him. So he has the right of way.
Because he is on the East/west road and you are not, you have to yield to him, just like he was any other car that came from the west heading east.

Please let me know if I got the details wrong. There is some sort of island and divergent road right?
