I have a similar question regarding 8673. According to your explanation Car A should have priority?
But the answer is B.
Don't apply the same answer to a different situation ...
The trouble is recognising the actual situation you're in - not always easy, as this has gotten far too complicated due to various legislation and court rulings.
In this case you'd expect car A to have priority, as it's continuing in the same lane
B wants to change lanes : a manoeuvre normally requiring a driver to yield.
However ...
The Court of Cassation has ruled that when a driver follows the far right side of the road, and is forced to the left by traffic signs, he does NOT perform a manoeuvre, and on the contrary, he even has priority from the right
This turns what you'd expect upside down
And few people realise it
Notes:
1) this does not apply to motorway on-ramps where you'll find similar road markings, as priority there is arranged by the priority signs, forcing the oncoming driver to yield to traffic already on the motorway.
2) without priority signs, and in case of severely impeded traffic, you'll need to apply the zipper principle here
