You are joining the traffic after picking up a passenger. Do you have priority over the oncoming vehicle turning left into the parking space?

Description

Art. 17 para. 2 in conjunction with para. 1 introductory sentence of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

No. According to Art. 17 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver joining the flow of traffic is obliged to give way to all other participants. In the situation shown in the video, by starting from a parking space after picking up a passenger, you are joining the flow of traffic. The vehicle approaching from the opposite direction, even though it is making a turn, is already in traffic and has the right of way over you.
