You intend to turn right. Do you have to yield the right of way to the vehicle approaching from the left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a residential street with cars parked on both sides, and you are approaching a junction without signs that set right of way. A red car is standing on the left, ready to drive in. When you turn right at an uncontrolled junction of equal roads, you do not have to give way to a vehicle from the left - it has you on its right side. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act tells you to give way to a vehicle coming from the right, and a driver turning left must also give way to vehicles from the opposite direction. The driver on the left sees you on his right, so he is the one who waits. Even though you have right of way, you exercise particular caution and make sure that he has really stopped, because the parked cars limit visibility for both of you.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
