Should you exercise particular caution when emerging from the field onto a hardened road?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on an unpaved field track between meadows and approaching a road with a hard surface, which you intend to enter. When entering a hard-surfaced road from a field, you are obliged to exercise particular caution. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act states that joining traffic (włączanie się do ruchu) takes place, among other things, when entering a road from a field and when entering a hard-surfaced road from a dirt road, and a driver joining traffic must exercise particular caution and give way to other vehicles. On a hard-surfaced road cars drive fast, and tall reeds at the exit block the view, so you stop before the roadway, look both ways and enter when nobody is coming. You also remember that wheels covered in mud from the field leave slippery mud on the asphalt.
Legal basis: Art. 17 para. 1 point 2 and para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
