Are you allowed in this situation to resign from using an indicator?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving in the left lane, which is ending - this is shown by sign F-17 "end of a lane on a one-way roadway" and lane-change arrows P-9 on the roadway - and you must move into the right lane, where other cars are driving. You always signal a lane change with your indicator, also when it is forced by the end of a lane. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires you to signal clearly and in good time with your indicator your intention to change lanes, and when changing lanes to give way to vehicles travelling in the lane you are entering. The driver in the right lane does not necessarily know that your lane is disappearing; the right indicator tells them that you want to move in front of them, and gives them time to react. You signal, check the mirror and the blind spot, and wait for a gap.
Legal basis: Art. 22 para. 4 and 5 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 75 para. 2 point 2 and § 87 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
