You are driving a bus. Are you allowed in this situation to overtake the passenger car?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
The photo shows a wide roadway with several lanes in one direction, and at the right edge sign B-26 "no overtaking by lorries" with a speed limit of 70 km/h under it. When driving a bus, you are allowed to overtake a passenger car here - the answer is YES.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-26 prohibits the driver of a lorry with a maximum permissible mass over 3.5 t, a road tractor or a special vehicle of such mass from overtaking multi-track power-driven vehicles. A bus is not on this list, so the ban does not cover you, even if your vehicle is large and heavy. When overtaking, however, you must keep to the 70 km/h limit and the general rules: make sure that you have enough space and keep a safe distance. Sign B-25 "no overtaking" would work differently - it would prohibit all drivers, including you, from overtaking multi-track power-driven vehicles.
Legal basis: § 23 para. 1 and 3 and § 27 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 24 para. 1 and 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
