If you turn left at this intersection, do you have the right of way over the vehicle approaching from the opposite direction?

Description

Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137).

Explanation

Correct answer: No

When turning left at an intersection, you are obliged to give way to vehicles approaching from the opposite direction that are travelling straight ahead or turning right. Even though you are on a priority road (sign D-1 visible on the right), this does not exempt you from this obligation. This rule is specified in Art. 25 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act.
