If you turn left at this intersection, do you have the right of way over the approaching vehicle?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are approaching a junction marked with sign A-5 "crossroads" with pedestrian crossing D-6, and you intend to turn left, while a silver car going straight on is approaching from the opposite direction. When turning left, you do not have right of way over it. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act states that a driver turning left gives way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction going straight on or turning right; the Regulation on road signs and signals specifies that A-5 warns of a junction where right of way is not set by signs. When turning left, you cross the path of the oncoming car, and it is going straight on, so it has right of way. You stop at the junction with your left indicator on and your wheels pointing straight ahead, and you turn when the silver car has passed.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 5 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
