Are you allowed in this situation to continue overtaking?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving in the left of two lanes of a wide street and overtaking a bus that is moving off from a stop in the right lane. The roadway is one-way, the lanes are separated by broken lines, and ahead of you there is no junction or crossing that would prohibit the manoeuvre. You may continue overtaking. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act tells you to overtake on the left and to exercise particular caution and keep a safe distance while doing it. Bans on overtaking concern junctions where traffic is not controlled, pedestrian crossings, cycle crossings and places with limited visibility - there are none here. A bus is long, so you finish the manoeuvre firmly, without staying next to it, and return to the lane only when you can see it in the mirror.
Legal basis: Art. 24 para. 2 and 3 and para. 7 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
