het oogcontact

Translation

eye contact

Looking at each other to know that you have been seen. It is a means of removing doubt with cyclists, pedestrians and drivers waiting for you, and nothing more: it does not move priority. Whoever must give way still must, even after a nod (art. 15), and whoever performs a special manoeuvre must let all other traffic go first (art. 54). If you get no eye contact, assume you have not been seen.

How it sounds in the exam

Krijg je voorrang doordat de ander je aankijkt?

Do you gain priority because the other driver looks at you?
