Do we have to give way to the driver of the oncoming car in this situation?
Answer options
Explanation
Yes, you must give way to the oncoming car. There is no gradient sign on this road — it is level with two lanes — and the tanker with hazard lights and a warning triangle behind it is standing in your lane, so the obstruction is on your side, not the other driver's. The rule is clear: where an obstruction makes passing difficult, the driver whose lane is blocked gives way, because it is that driver who has to enter the opposite lane. Hazard lights and a warning triangle on a stopped vehicle are warnings only and create no right of passage for you. If the same picture had an ascent sign facing you the answer would reverse — always look for a gradient sign first.
