When driving behind the vehicle marked in such a way are you obliged to exercise particular caution?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a residential street behind a car with an "L" board, that is, a driving school vehicle driven by a person who is only learning to drive. When driving behind it, you exercise particular caution. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act requires a driver to be careful and to avoid any action that could cause danger, and the principle of limited trust tells you to expect other people to break the rules when the circumstances suggest it - an "L" board is exactly such a signal. A learner may stall at a junction, brake unexpectedly or take a long time to move off. You increase your following distance, do not use the horn and do not put pressure on them, because this will only make their driving worse.
Legal basis: Art. 3 para. 1 and Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
