If you are driving an overnormative vehicle, are you obliged to be especially careful?

Show the correct answer

Correct answer

A. yes

Explanation

In the photo, at night, a vehicle combination with a huge load is crossing a bridge, lit by amber warning lamps. When driving an abnormal (oversize or overweight) vehicle, you are obliged to exercise particular caution - answer A.

The Road Traffic Act lists particular caution by the driver of an abnormal vehicle as one of four conditions under which such a vehicle may be driven on the road at all - alongside the permit, compliance with its conditions and escorting. Particular caution is increased caution, which means watching the situation carefully and being ready to react immediately; with a combination that is wider than a lane, several dozen metres long and weighs tens of tonnes, this is the only way to get safely through a junction, over a bridge or through a narrowing. The obligation lasts for the entire journey, not only at night (answer C), and neither the escort nor the permit releases you from it.

Legal basis: Art. 64 para. 1 point 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); Art. 2 point 22 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
