Which Vehicle Has the Right of Way When Meeting on a Narrow Mountain Road?
1 Answers
When vehicles meet on a narrow mountain road, the vehicle closer to the mountain should yield to the vehicle farther from the mountain. Below are the specific reasons and precautions for driving on mountain roads: Specific Reasons: This priority is determined from a safety perspective. The vehicle closer to the mountain is relatively safer; in case of an accident, it would only scrape against the mountain. However, if the vehicle farther from the mountain has an accident, it could plunge off the cliff, resulting in severe damage or fatalities. When meeting on narrow mountain roads, due to complex traffic conditions and obstructed visibility, various sudden accidents are highly likely. Therefore, extra caution is necessary during such encounters. Precautions: Use the horn frequently; drive on the right side; slow down when meeting on mountain roads; vehicles on the outer side of the road have priority; maintain stable control of the vehicle; flash headlights between high and low beams promptly when meeting at night.
