Are you allowed in this situation to continue overtaking?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a straight road among fields behind a red car. The middle of the roadway is marked with a broken line, nothing is coming from the opposite direction, and the road is straight and clearly visible all the way to the horizon. There is no bend, hill, junction or crossing here, so you may continue overtaking. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act allows overtaking when the driver has suitable visibility and enough space for the manoeuvre without obstructing anyone's traffic, no one behind has started to overtake him, and the vehicle being overtaken is not signalling a change of direction or lane. The broken line P-1 does not restrict driving onto the opposite lane. You finish the manoeuvre firmly and return to the right side when you see the overtaken car in the interior mirror.
Legal basis: Art. 24 para. 1-3 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 86 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
