Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street in a town between houses; before the junction on the right there is sign D-1 "priority road", and at the entrance of a side street on the right there is a silver car. You do not have to give way to the vehicle coming from the right. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign D-1 marks the beginning or continuation of a priority road; a driver entering it from a minor road has sign A-7 or B-20 in front of them and must give way. The right-hand rule from the Road Traffic Act, according to which you give way to a vehicle coming from the right, applies only at junctions where right of way has not been set by signs. So the silver car at the entrance on the right waits until you have passed. Your duty remains to exercise particular caution when approaching the junction and to watch whether the driver on the right has really stopped; if they move off, you do not insist on your right of way, you brake - the principle of limited trust tells you to react to other people's mistakes before a collision happens.
Legal basis: § 43 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 25 para. 1 and Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
