You intend to turn left at the junction. Should you speed up in this situation, in order to pass before the oncoming vehicles?
Description
Art. 5 and art. 25 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) and § 95 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended).
Explanation
Correct answer: No
No, under no circumstances should you accelerate. According to Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver turning left is obliged to give way to vehicles approaching from the opposite direction. The S-1 signal (general green light) visible in the video permits entry into the intersection but does not release you from this obligation. Attempting to force the right of way by accelerating is an extremely dangerous manoeuvre.
