When turning into a crossroad, are you obliged to give way to a person in a wheelchair crossing the road at the junction you are entering?
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
Yes. Under art. 26 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, a driver turning into a side road must give way to a pedestrian crossing the carriageway of the road being entered. A person in a wheelchair is treated in the same way as a pedestrian, so the duty to give way applies in full.
