When approaching a narrowing with a truck, with no express priority signage, and meeting at the same time a motorhome coming the other way, which of the two is obliged to reverse if both do not fit at once?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On a narrow section with no signage (such as signs R-5 and R-6) where two vehicles do not fit at once, the general rule is that the one that entered first has priority; in case of doubt, and if they arrive at the same time, the order of precedence by type of vehicle in Article 62 of the General Traffic Regulations applies. In that order, motorhomes and passenger cars with a trailer of up to 750 kg are in fourth place, and trucks, tractor units and vans in sixth. Since the motorhome precedes the truck, it is the truck that must stop and reverse to clear the way. The motorhome is not the one that reverses. Distance only decides between vehicles of the same type or in cases not listed: the one that would have to reverse farther has priority, not the one that has traveled farther into the section.
