When turning left in this situation, are you obliged to yield priority to the vehicle coming from the opposite direction?

In the photo you are driving on a road outside a town; on the left there is a side road, and a car is coming from the opposite direction. When turning left, you are obliged to give way to the vehicle coming from the opposite direction. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act states that a driver approaching a junction is obliged to exercise particular caution and to give way to a vehicle coming from the right, and if turning left - also to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction going straight on or turning right; the same rule applies where traffic directions cross outside a junction, for example when turning into a dirt road. This rule applies regardless of whether you are driving on a priority road or on a road of equal status: the car from the opposite direction is on the same road as you, so between you the direction of the manoeuvre decides - whoever turns left and crosses the opposite lane waits. Before turning, you switch on your indicator in good time, move towards the middle of the roadway and slow down; if the vehicle from the opposite direction is close, you stop at the centre line of the roadway with your wheels pointing straight ahead, so that a hit from behind does not push you into the path of the oncoming car. You turn when the opposite lane is clear.
