Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a narrow street between the fences of properties and intend to go straight on, and a red car is coming out from the left, from an entrance between the fences. You are not obliged to give way to it. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act states that entering a road from a property or from a road that is not a public road is joining traffic (włączanie się do ruchu), and a driver joining traffic must give way to other vehicles. Even if this entrance were an ordinary street at an uncontrolled junction of equal roads, the vehicle from the left would still have to give way to you, because a driver gives way to a vehicle approaching from the right. You have right of way, but the fences block the view, so you slow down and watch whether the driver of the red car can see you.
Legal basis: Art. 17 para. 1 point 1 and para. 2 and Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
