Quindi sto imparando e mi sono imbattuto in questo ponte. (Al momento non c’è semaforo). So che l’altro lato ha la precedenza, quindi mi avvicino lentamente alla linea e non vedo nessuno dall’altra parte del tunnel, quindi sto già entrando nel tunnel ma quando vedo un’auto che arriva dall’altra parte non si ferma ma invece accelera verso di me quando mi vede e devo fare marcia indietro per lasciarlo andare per primo. Può farlo? Ho torto? Cosa dovrei fare quando succedono cose del genere durante il mio esame?

Is this in Herent, near Leuven?
once you’re in the tunnel, he should stop. but if it’s a nutcase like you describe, it’s better to back out, because insurance companies will look at the advantage rule
No lines on the ground ? I would assume you have the right of way because the road is narrowed on the your opposite side.
The priority is always for the first one to enter on the intersection/ bridge / tunnel. The priority rules only apply before entering, if there is someone else approaching.
If there was no one, you can enter and then you have the priority
The fact that he speeds up when he sees you’re already inside the tunnel should already be enough to determine who is the idiot.
This tunnel specifically is somewhat of a joke locally. Every year there are multiple vehicles that get stuck and everytime again the commune does something insufficient to try to solve the issue. Electric lights and chain before the tunnel to avert drivers seem logicql but apparently not feasible…
He is in the wrong as you have the right of way due to already being there. In life, there are many idiots so although rules say you have the right of way and should not give way(if it’s an exam question), the safest option in the situation is to give way.
Experienced drivers could potentially double down and speed up themselves if they trust they can avoid a collision to force the other side to back down as well, but that is also reckless driving and trusting that the other person isn’t under influence, so don’t.
The most legal way to handle this without giving way is to keep driving until you no longer safely can aka stop in front of them and refuse to back down. It might waste more time than backing down and could escalate to a fight if the other side is a retard.
Evaluate the situation accordingly and follow the rules, but most importantly, drive safely
I drove through there yesterday and yes it’s stupid that they removed the traffic lights. Due to the incline you cannot see if someone is approaching from the other side.
Reading your story the other car should have waited, but some people just lack respect when driving.
Also unrelated. A lot of vans have gotten stuck under that bridge it’s full of scratches on the ceiling. It happens pretty often.
This road is only for lorries 😄
