When rejoining traffic from a parked position, is the driver required to yield the right of way?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, absolutely. According to General Traffic Regulations, any driver intending to rejoin the traffic flow from a stop or parked position must yield the right of way to vehicles already moving on the road. This implies verifying beforehand that the maneuver can be performed without danger to other road users, taking into account their position, trajectory, and speed. It is not merely a recommendation; it is a strict obligation to ensure road safety and prevent side or rear-end collisions.
