Are you obliged in this situation to yield the right of way to the vehicle visible in the mirror?
Description
Art. 17 para. 2 in conjunction with para. 1 pt. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
The manoeuvre of exiting a petrol station onto the road is considered joining the flow of traffic. According to Art. 17 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver joining the flow of traffic is obliged to give way to another vehicle. This means that the vehicle visible in your mirror, which is already moving on the road, has absolute right of way over you.
