Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving on a dual carriageway behind a car with a blue board with the letter "L" - this is a driving school vehicle driven by a learner. When overtaking it, you are obliged to exercise particular caution. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires particular caution during every overtaking manoeuvre, especially a safe distance from the vehicle being overtaken. With an "L" car this matters twice as much: the learner may react in an unusual way, slow down for no reason, move towards you or stall the engine. You overtake decisively, with a larger lateral clearance, and you do not return to the lane right in front of their bonnet, so that you do not force them to brake hard.
Legal basis: Art. 24 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
