Question 881 in the bank

What is the required conduct of a driver that exits a dirt road and intends to enter a paved road?

A two-lane paved road lined with trees; a dark car drives on the road while a grey car stands on the dirt shoulder at right, beside a yellow line.
  1. He should allow traffic from his right to continue driving undisturbed, and then enter the road.
  2. He should enter the paved road: A vehicle exiting a dirt road has priority over vehicles driving on a paved road.
  3. Correct answer: He should give way to all vehicles on the paved road, from right and left, and then enter the road.
  4. He should honk, blink his lights and enter the paved road.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: He should give way to all vehicles on the paved road, from right and left, and then enter the road.

A vehicle coming out of a dirt road onto a paved road must give way to all traffic on that road, from both the right and the left, and enter only when it is clear. The give-way-to-the-right rule does not apply here, and the dirt-road vehicle has no priority. Honking or flashing lights never gives anyone the right of way.
