Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we are riding a moped along a street with a petrol station on the left and entrances to roadside facilities on both sides. When turning into the petrol station, you are obliged to exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.
The Road Traffic Act states that a driver may change direction only while exercising particular caution. Turning into a petrol station means leaving the road for a roadside facility: you cross a pavement or a cycle path, and when turning left - also the path of oncoming vehicles. You signal the manoeuvre in good time with your indicator, slow down and let oncoming vehicles pass, and when crossing the footway (droga dla pieszych), you ride slowly and give way to pedestrians. On the station premises, watch out for cars pulling away from the pumps.
