You are turning right and the driver of the oncoming vehicle intends to turn left. Have you got priority over him?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street marked with sign A-6a "junction with minor roads on both sides" and turning right, and the driver of a red car coming from the opposite direction intends to turn left. You have right of way over them. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act states that a driver turning left must give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction that is going straight on or turning right. Your paths cross, because you are both entering the same street on the right-hand side, and in this situation the one turning right goes first. You turn, but you watch whether the driver of the red car is really waiting - drivers turning left are sometimes impatient, and a pedestrian at the crossing on the left may also step onto the roadway.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 5 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
