Give Way Rule
The ‘Give Way’ requirement means the driver must not force a road user with priority to change direction or speed. This topic teaches whom to yield to and how to do so safely without confusing giving way with a mandatory stop.
Priority
The essentials
This topic helps explain who has the right of way and who must give way in different traffic situations. It focuses on combining signs, road status, the right-hand rule and the priority of special road users.
What to remember
When determining priority, do not look only at vehicle positions. First check whether there is a traffic controller or traffic light, then priority signs and main/secondary road status, and only if these are absent apply the rules for roads of equal priority. ‘Give way’ means not starting or continuing a movement if doing so would force a road user with priority to change speed or direction.

STOP / No Proceeding Without Stopping
With a STOP sign, this topic focuses on the mandatory stop and the logic of safely continuing afterwards. It is important to identify the correct stopping point, assess the intersecting road and only then apply the priority rules.
Main and Secondary Road
This topic teaches how to distinguish main and secondary roads using signs, pavement or other permitted indicators. This distinction is necessary for correctly determining priority at uncontrolled intersections.
Right-Hand Rule
The right-hand rule applies when priority has not been defined in another way and the roads are of equal priority. This topic helps determine which road user approaching from the side must be given way to and when the rule does not apply.
Priority of Oncoming Traffic
This topic concerns the mutual passage of opposing traffic on narrow road sections or in similar situations. The aim is to recognize signs and road conditions that establish priority and avoid entering a section in a way that blocks oncoming traffic.
Tram Priority
This topic presents the special features of priority when a tram is involved. The learner should distinguish the general rule from cases where traffic lights, signs or movement direction change the order of passage.
