When approaching a narrowing where simultaneous crossing is not possible and you are faced with the Priority to oncoming traffic sign (R-5), are you allowed to pass if another vehicle arrives from the opposite direction at the same time?

Question

The regulatory vertical sign R-5 (Priority to oncoming traffic) prohibits entering a narrowing unless it is possible to get through it without forcing vehicles traveling in the opposite direction to stop. When both vehicles arrive at the same time, the driver who has the sign in front loses priority and is required to wait and yield. Believing that mopeds have priority at any narrowing is a mistake: they do not have it even without a sign (in the order of precedence in Article 62 of the General Traffic Regulations they come last), and still less against a sign that requires yielding. Accelerating to enter first breaches that obligation and creates a serious risk of head-on collision.
