Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video a moped is standing on the pavement next to the fence of a property and moves off, riding down from the pavement onto the roadway, on which cars are driving. In this situation you are obliged to exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.
Moving off after parking and entering the roadway from the pavement count as joining traffic (włączanie się do ruchu). A driver joining traffic must exercise particular caution and give way to other vehicles or road users - pedestrians on the pavement and vehicles travelling on the roadway from both directions. Before moving off, you check the mirrors and the blind spot, switch on your indicator and ride down from the kerb slowly, as close to a right angle to it as possible. You do not force anyone to brake - you enter only when there is a clear gap.
