If you intend to join the traffic flow from a parked or stopped position, when are you obliged to yield the right of way?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to General Traffic Regulations, any driver wishing to join the traffic flow must first ensure it can be done without danger to other road users. The rule is clear: you must always yield to vehicles already traveling on the road, regardless of whether they are approaching from the right or the left. The maneuver must not force others to abruptly change their speed or trajectory. Also remember that simply using your indicator signal does not grant you any right of way.
