Question 904 in the bank

The vehicle coming from your opposite direction (1) started to turn to his left. How would you respond?

A multi-lane road with painted arrows; a white car marked 1 crosses ahead from the opposite side, a grey car on the right, direction signs at the roadside.
  1. Turn right to avoid collision.
  2. Maintain your current speed and take right of way.
  3. Honk to warn the driver and maintain your driving speed.
  4. Correct answer: Slow down or stop and allow the white vehicle in the intersection to complete the turn..

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Slow down or stop and allow the white vehicle in the intersection to complete the turn..

Even when you have the right of way, you should not insist on it once another vehicle has already entered the intersection and begun turning in front of you. Defensive driving means slowing down or stopping and letting it complete the turn to prevent a collision. Honking while keeping your speed will not stop it, and swerving sharply can cause a different crash.
