What is the right course of action now?

In this scenario, the correct actions are to brake sharply and yield your right of way. This typically applies when an immediate hazard or situation requires you to stop quickly and allow others to proceed, such as when a car, pedestrian, or obstacle unexpectedly appears and you must react to prevent an accident. Yielding the right of way means letting other traffic go first when required by the situation or road signs.

Braking sharply ensures that you avoid a collision or dangerous situation. Yielding is important to maintain safety and follow right-of-way rules. Both actions together ensure you respond correctly to sudden hazards or situations where your priority on the road no longer applies. Being aware and ready to brake and yield keeps you and other road users safe in unexpected circumstances.
