Ich bin also ein Lernender und bin über diese Brücke gestoßen. (Derzeit gibt es dort keine Ampel). Ich weiß, dass die andere Seite Vorfahrt hat, also nähere ich mich langsam der Linie und sehe niemanden auf der anderen Seite des Tunnels, also betrete ich bereits den Tunnel, aber als ich es erkenne, sehe ich ein Auto von der anderen Seite herkommen. Er hält nicht an, sondern beschleunigt auf mich zu, als er mich sieht, und ich muss rückwärts fahren, um ihm den Vortritt zu lassen. Kann er das? Habe ich Unrecht? Was soll ich tun, wenn so etwas während meiner Prüfung passiert?

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 😄

The other driver was probably a BMW.
I second the others. It’s the same rule as when you are going around an obstacle such as parked cars.
If you can stop safely and let them through, you do so. Like if there’s a hole between the cars, or in this case before the tunnel.
If you cannot stop safely or let them through, then they have to wait, possibly back out. They are supposed to check the way is clear prior to entering the problematic zone.
Do note that with a vehicle like the one in the picture, I’d refuse to back up, in case there’d be a cyclist or a child behind the vehicle.
Oh, I live near this place. I didn’t even know they removed the traffic light…
