DDifficulty 3/5

A bus without a trailer and a car without a trailer reach an unsigned narrowing at the same time on a level section. Neither has entered and no officer or other authorised person is directing traffic. If they cannot pass each other, which must reverse to let the other through?

Correct answer

The car.

The car. This scenario uses the priority order between vehicle types: the bus, intended for collective passenger transport, has priority over the car without a trailer. It is not decided simply by which would reverse a shorter distance. Earlier entry into the narrowing, instructions from authorised personnel or a steep section can change the applicable rule; those cases are excluded. Reverse slowly and only after checking it can be done safely.
