Have you got priority in this situation over the vehicle coming from the opposite direction, turning left?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video, on a green light you are turning right at a junction; a car is coming from the opposite direction and turning left into the same street. A driver turning left gives way to an oncoming vehicle turning right, so you have right of way over it. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver turning left to give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction that is going straight on or turning right. Your right turn is short and does not cross anyone's path, while the other driver has to cross your lane. You turn close to the right edge, watching out for the crossing and the tram tracks, and you check that the other driver is really waiting.
