In this situation, if you go straight, do you have the right of way over the vehicle approaching from the right?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving in fog along a street through a town and you pass sign D-1 "priority road"; you are going straight on, and a red delivery lorry is pulling out from a minor street on the right. You have right of way over it. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-1 marks the beginning or continuation of a priority road, and drivers on intersecting roads, marked with signs A-7 or B-20, give way to those travelling on that road. The right-hand rule does not apply when priority is determined by signs. However, the lorry from the right has already driven into the junction, and the fog reduces visibility, so you slow down and are ready to stop - right of way does not give you the right to drive into a vehicle that is not respecting it.
Legal basis: § 43 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 5 para. 1 and Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
