Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In narrow sections where there is no express priority signage and more than one vehicle has entered at the same time (or there is doubt about who entered first), traffic regulations establish a strict order of priority based on the greater difficulty of maneuvering of each vehicle. According to this regulatory order, trucks, tractor units and vans have right of way over passenger cars and adaptable dual-purpose vehicles. Therefore, as the truck has priority over the passenger car, the latter is required to reverse. The criterion of the greater maximum authorized mass (MAM) applies only to settle priority when both vehicles belong to the same category, which is not the case here.
