Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street between blocks of flats with cars parked on both sides, and you are approaching a junction with a pedestrian crossing where priority is not determined by signs; you intend to turn left, and a white minibus is coming from the left. You are not required to give way to it. The answer is: no.
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 going straight on or turning right; the vehicle from the left does not belong to either of these groups, so it gives way to you. At an uncontrolled junction of equal roads, when turning left, you therefore look to the right and straight ahead, and the minibus from the left should wait - but this does not release you from making sure that it is really braking.
Legal basis: Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
