Is the expression 'to give right of way' not recognised in this course? I would think that's the usual term.
Disregard my original message.
Is it used this way anywhere in full "give the right of way" and without dashes as "right-of-way"? The UK Highway code, for example, uses just "to give way" with the exception of "The rules in The Highway Code do not give you the right of way in any circumstance" which is a bit different.

I think all of them exist. I say 'give right of way' without the article, or simply give way. I saw on the internet that the article is also used sometimes. It seems to me every English speaking country has its own version (:

''They didn't yield the right-of-way and struck'' wasn't accepted but should be, I think.
"Struck" by itself is very odd. "Struck each other," which does have an object, isn't bad, though "ran into each other" or "hit each other" would probably be more commonly used. However, I don't know if any of these would accurately translate the Czech verb, and I tend to think that "crashed" is the best option.
