You intend to turn right, and the driver approaching from the opposite direction plans to turn left. Do you have the right of way?

In the video, you are approaching a junction in an estate of detached houses, where you intend to turn right; a red car is coming from the opposite direction, and its driver plans to turn left. You have right of way. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act states that a driver approaching a junction is required to exercise particular caution and give way to a vehicle approaching from the right, and if turning left - also to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and going straight on or turning right. So the obligation to give way lies with the driver turning left, because they are the one crossing the path of the oncoming vehicle; when you turn right, you stay at your edge of the roadway and do not cross anyone's path. The rule applies regardless of whether it is an uncontrolled junction of equal roads or a junction on a priority road, because you are both on the same road. However, right of way does not release you from caution: the oncoming driver may misread your intention, especially if you do not switch on your indicator. So you signal the turn in good time, move close to the right-hand edge, watch the red car and give way to pedestrians crossing the roadway you are entering.
