If you are driving a truck and reach an unsignposted narrowing at the same time as a motorcycle with a sidecar traveling in the opposite direction, who has the right of way?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

When two vehicles reach a narrow passage without signs and one of them has to reverse, Article 62(1) of the General Traffic Regulations sets an order of precedence according to the type of vehicle. In that order, trucks, tractor units and vans come sixth, and three-wheeled vehicles and motorcycles with sidecars come ninth. Therefore, the truck goes first and the motorcycle with a sidecar is the one that yields. The criterion of the vehicle that would have to reverse a longer distance applies only between vehicles of the same type or in cases not listed, and the motorcycle's lack of a reverse gear is not a criterion of the regulations.
