Are you obliged to exercise extreme caution in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we are riding a moped along a road marked with sign D-1 "priority road" and approaching a junction, which a silver passenger car is approaching from an intersecting road on the right. In this situation you are obliged to exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.
When approaching a junction, the driver must exercise particular caution - also when travelling on a priority road. Particular caution means increased attention and adapting your behaviour to the conditions so that you can react quickly enough. The car from the intersecting road is already entering the junction, so you slow down and watch whether its driver has definitely seen you and will stop. It is not worth arguing about right of way - a collision with a car ends much worse for a moped rider than for the car driver.
