Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, on the right, there are signs B-26 "no overtaking by lorries" and B-33 with a limit of 70 km/h. You are driving a lorry with a maximum permissible mass of up to 3.5 t, and sign B-26 does not apply to such a vehicle - so you may overtake the passenger car. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals says that B-26 prohibits drivers of a lorry with a maximum permissible mass over 3.5 t, a road tractor or a special vehicle over 3.5 t from overtaking multi-track power-driven vehicles. A light delivery lorry is outside this ban. Of course, you overtake according to the general rules: on the left, with enough space and visibility, without exceeding 70 km/h.
Legal basis: § 23 para. 3 point 1 and § 27 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
