Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are driving on a priority road marked with sign D-1 and approaching a junction with traffic lights showing green; you intend to go straight on, and a vehicle from the opposite direction is turning left. You are not obliged to give way to it - it gives way to you. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act states that a driver turning left gives way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction that is going straight on or turning right. With an ordinary green signal S-1, both sides have permission to enter, so this rule decides the order. You go straight on without slowing down unnecessarily, but you watch the turning driver - if he pulls out in front of you, you brake, because right of way does not protect you from a collision.
