Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is no, they must respect the priority of others. According to General Traffic Regulations, the fundamental rule for lateral movement maneuvers establishes that a driver entering a lane must always yield to vehicles already traveling in it. Key points: Signaling does not grant rights: The indicator is used to warn other road users, but it does not impose an obligation on others to yield. MSM Rule: Before maneuvering, you must follow the sequence Mirrors (observe), Signal (warn), and Maneuver (execute only if safe). Safety: You must never initiate the maneuver if it forces other users to abruptly change their path or speed.
