On a narrow unsignposted stretch where simultaneous crossing is not possible, a bus and a motorhome meet head-on. If there is doubt about who entered first, which of the two drivers is required to reverse?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations establish a very strict order of precedence at unsignposted narrowings when it is not certain which vehicle entered first. In that order of priority, passenger cars with a trailer of up to 750 kg and motorhomes are in fourth place, while vehicles intended for the collective transport of passengers (such as buses) are in fifth place. Since the motorhome has right of way over the bus, it is the bus that is required to reverse to make the crossing easier. The rule of the shorter reversing distance applies only if both vehicles belong to exactly the same category within the established order.
