Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching a junction marked with sign A-5 "crossroads" and you intend to turn left; a yellow recovery truck is coming from the left along the intersecting road. When turning left, you have right of way over it. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires you to give way to a vehicle coming from the right, and when turning left, also to an oncoming vehicle; a vehicle coming from the left gives way to you, because for it you are the one on the right. The Regulation on road signs and signals states that A-5 warns of a junction where priority is not determined by signs. So you have right of way, but when turning left, you drive directly in front of the recovery truck, so you make sure that its driver can see you and is slowing down before you enter the junction.
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
