Are you obliged to exercise extreme caution in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, we are driving along a narrow street between buildings towards a junction, before which there is sign A-7 "give way" on the right. In this situation you are obliged to exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act requires every driver approaching a junction to exercise particular caution. Particular caution means caution that involves paying more attention and adapting your behaviour to the conditions so that you can react quickly enough. Here this is especially important: buildings right next to the roadway block the view to the sides, and sign A-7 means that you must give way to vehicles travelling on the road you are approaching. You slow down, stop just before the entry to the junction if necessary, edge forward slowly until you can see the road in both directions, and only then do you enter. On a moped, remember that you are hard to see from around a corner.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 2 point 22 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 5 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
