Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a narrow street with cars parked on both sides, and the tram tracks run down the middle of the roadway you are driving on. A tram is coming from the opposite direction and takes up almost all the free width of the street. You must not continue driving - you must make room for it. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act states that a driver of a vehicle on the part of the roadway used by rail vehicles is obliged to make room for an approaching rail vehicle. A tram cannot leave the tracks or brake quickly, so it is you who stops in a gap between the parked cars or reverses to a place where you can pass each other.
Legal basis: Art. 16 para. 6 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
