The driver of the oncoming car intends to turn left. Do you have to yield the right of way to him?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
You are approaching a junction with sign B-20 "STOP" and plate T-6c. The plate shows that the priority road comes from the side opposite you and turns to your right, and your approach road is a minor road. The driver coming from the opposite direction who is turning left is following the course of the priority road. You stop before the junction and give way to him.
The STOP sign means that you must not enter the junction without stopping before the priority road, and that you must give way to drivers travelling on that road, and plate T-6c under the sign shows the actual course of the priority road. The rule "a driver turning left gives way to a driver coming from the opposite direction" works when both vehicles have equal rights, for example at an uncontrolled junction of equal roads or when both are travelling on the priority road. Here you are waiting on a minor road, so the STOP sign decides.
