You are turning left at the nearest junction. Do you have the right of way over the approaching vehicle?
💡 Explanation
Correct answer: NO
🔍 Situation analysis: You are approaching an intersection with no priority signs (an uncontrolled intersection). You intend to turn left. An oncoming vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction, moving straight through the intersection.
📖 Rule explanation: At an intersection with equal priority, you must yield to vehicles approaching from your right. When turning left, you are crossing the path of oncoming traffic moving straight or turning right. Therefore, you are obligated to yield the right-of-way to the oncoming vehicle because your maneuver forces them to adjust their speed or trajectory.
💡 Tip: Always check for oncoming traffic when turning left. Ensure you have a safe gap before starting your maneuver. If in doubt, wait for the oncoming traffic to clear the intersection.
