“In our house, such smart people block traffic from time to time. They stood there for over half an hour this morning, trying to decide who had the advantage. The discussions were sometimes quite loud. But what regarding the rules in this case?” writes the Riga woman.
Journalists contacted driving instructor Werner Prances from the Vanags driving school, believing that he knew the answer to this question. Werner has had his license for 20 years, of which he has been working as a driving instructor for 9 years.
Looking at the photo, he first answers the question briefly:
And then he explains his point of view: “It’s very simple. The one who drives in his own lane has priority. Anyone driving in the opposite direction must drive in reverse. The only thing is, if a person driving in the oncoming lane got there in a timely manner, he had nowhere to go, but a person driving in his own lane saw it in time, which is why it was impossible for him to drive towards him.”
The instructor also points out that there may be cases when both drivers drive in the same lane for a long time without seeing each other, for example when turning, then solidarity kicks in. Anyone who knows that there is an intersection or a niche in the opposite direction closer to him will most likely give way and let the other one pass.
However, the underlying principle is that the one who drives in his own lane has priority.
Is it worth contacting the police in this case? It’s better to come to an agreement on your own and not make a fuss. The police will not say anything new, except that priority is given to those driving in their own lane. What other questions might there be?
