If you are driving a rigid truck and arrive at the same time as a combined vehicle at an unsigned narrowing where it is impossible to pass each other, which of the two must reverse?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On narrow sections where two vehicles cannot cross at the same time and there is no signage regulating priority, the general rule is that the vehicle that entered first has priority. When arrival is simultaneous or there is doubt about who entered first, the regulatory hierarchy established according to the maneuvering difficulty of each type of vehicle applies. In this official order, combined vehicles are in second place of precedence, while trucks, vans and tractor units without a trailer are in sixth. Therefore, since the reversing maneuver is much more complex for an articulated or trailer-towing combined vehicle, it has priority and it is the truck that must back up. The criterion that the one with the shorter distance to reverse does so only applies when vehicles of the same type meet.
