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 street in a town and approaching a junction with sign D-1 "priority road" with plate T-6a showing the course of the priority road; cars are driving through the junction. In this situation you are obliged to exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver approaching a junction to exercise particular caution - also when they are travelling on a priority road. Plate T-6a shows that the priority road changes direction at the junction, so mistakes are easy here: other drivers may misread who has right of way. You slow down, look at all the entries to the junction, and if you are on the priority road and turn along with it, you signal this with your indicator. A two-wheeler is easy to miss, so do not count on the driver from the minor road definitely noticing you.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 43 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
