You intend to continue driving straight on. In this situation do you have the right of way over the vehicle approaching from the right?

💡 Explanation

Correct answer: YES

🔍 Situation analysis: You are approaching a road section where there is an exit from a property on your right side. A red passenger car is attempting to join the traffic from this exit.

📖 Explanation of the rule: In this situation, the key is to distinguish between an intersection and an exit from an adjacent area or property. An exit from a private property is not an intersection. A driver joining traffic from an adjacent area (a property, a private road, a gas station, etc.) is legally required to yield the right-of-way to all road users already traveling on the public road. Therefore, you – as a driver on a public road – have the right-of-way over the vehicle exiting from the right.

💡 Tip: Never automatically assume that every vehicle from the right has the right-of-way. Always observe whether the road the other participant is emerging from is a public road (an intersection) or an exit from a private property. This skill helps avoid unnecessary braking and allows for smoother driving.
