You intend to turn right. Are you obliged to yield the right of way to the oncoming vehicle that is turning left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you pass a pedestrian crossing and approach a junction without signs that set the right of way; you intend to turn right, and an oncoming red car is, according to the question, turning left - into the same street. A driver turning left gives way to an oncoming vehicle turning right, so you do not have to give way to it. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver turning left to give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction going straight on or turning right. You are both turning into the same street, but you have a shorter path and you do not cross anyone's path, while he has to drive across your lane. You turn right close to the edge of the roadway and watch whether the other driver is really waiting.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
