You intend to drive into a hardened road by turning right. Do you have the right of way over the vehicle approaching from the left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving on an unpaved gravel road between trees and approaching an asphalt street into which you want to turn right. A car is coming from the left. Entering a road with a hard surface from a dirt road is joining traffic (włączanie się do ruchu), so you are the one who gives way. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act counts entering a road from a field, or entering a road with a hard surface from a road with a dirt surface, as joining traffic, and requires the driver joining traffic to exercise particular caution and give way to any other vehicle or road user. The direction of your turn and the side the vehicle comes from do not matter: you let everyone who is already driving on the asphalt go first.
Legal basis: Art. 17 para. 1 point 2 and para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
