Why must you wait before taking a turn in this situation?

Your answer is correct because both the motorbike and the truck create hazards that require you to wait before making the turn. According to German traffic rules, you must yield to any vehicle that could interfere with your intended path, especially when visibility or space is limited.

The motorbike is a direct obstacle you must not cut off or force to stop by turning prematurely. At the same time, the truck’s presence can limit available space and complicate the maneuver, making it unsafe to turn.

Pedestrians do require attention, but in this scenario, the primary reasons to wait are the motorbike and the truck because they are immediate moving traffic that could cause a collision or force dangerous evasive actions. Always prioritize waiting until the roadway is clear of vehicles in both directions before turning. This ensures your safety and that of other road users.
