Question 1779 in the bank

In an intersection without traffic lights, are you required to give right of way to vehicles coming from your opposite direction when you are about to turn left?

  1. Only when these vehicles are turning right.
  2. Correct answer: Always.
  3. Only when these vehicles are turning left.
  4. Only when theses vehicles continue driving straight.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Always.

At an intersection with no sign or signal deciding priority, a driver turning left must always yield to oncoming vehicles. It does not matter whether they continue straight, turn right or turn left. A left turn crosses the path of oncoming traffic, so the driver turning left waits until the way is clear.
