Question 268 of 554

How does the driver of the motor vehicle proceed when encountering the sign “Give way”?

A reduces speed and gives priority only to motor vehicles;
B reduces speed, makes sure, and if other vehicles are traveling on the priority road, gives them priority;
C reduces speed, makes sure and gives priority only to the motor vehicles that are traveling from his left.

Explanation

When you approach an intersection and encounter the sign “Give way”, you are obliged to reduce speed and to make sure that at that moment no other vehicles are traveling on the priority road.

If other vehicles come from the priority road, you must stop and give them priority. Priority is given whether they are motor vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) or simple vehicles (bicycles, scooters, etc.). Only after you have made sure that no other vehicles are coming from the priority road may you enter the intersection and continue your movement safely.

If in the intersection no additional panels are installed to indicate the direction of the priority road, the transversal road is the priority road and you must give priority to both the vehicles coming from the left side and those coming from the right side.

It must be known that there are situations in which, depending on the direction in which you want to travel, you have or do not have the obligation to give priority also to the vehicles coming from the opposite direction. For example, when in such an intersection, encountering the sign “Give way”, you want to travel straight ahead or to turn right, you will give priority to all vehicles coming from the transversal road. However, if you want to make a left turn, besides the obligation to give priority to all vehicles coming from the transversal road, you must also give priority to the vehicles coming from the opposite direction and traveling straight ahead or to the right (their right), because during the left turn they come to you from the right side.

The correct answer is: B
