In this situation, must you continue to exercise extreme caution after giving the right of way to vehicles travelling from the opposite direction?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, at dusk, we are riding a moped along a street in town and turning left into a petrol station; cars are coming from the opposite direction, other cars are waiting at the station entrance to leave, and a cyclist is riding on the right side of the street. After giving way to vehicles coming from the opposite direction, you must still exercise particular caution - the answer is YES.
Letting oncoming vehicles pass does not end the manoeuvre. A driver may change direction only while exercising particular caution - it applies until the end of the manoeuvre, not only until the oncoming vehicles have passed. When entering the station, you cross a pavement or a cycle path, and at the entrance there are cars leaving the station - their drivers may not notice you. When crossing the footway (droga dla pieszych), you ride slowly and give way to pedestrians, and on the station premises you watch vehicles manoeuvring at the pumps. You keep up this caution until you have left the road and stopped at the pump.
