Can you overtake the vehicle in this situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a forest road behind a red car; the centre of the roadway is marked with a double solid line P-4, and on the right there are signs A-3 "dangerous bends - first to the right" and B-33 "40". You are not allowed to overtake the vehicle in front of you. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits overtaking a power-driven vehicle on a bend marked with warning signs, and the Regulation on road signs and signals states that you must not cross line P-4 or drive onto it. You cannot see beyond the bend whether someone is coming from the opposite direction, and in a forest there is nowhere to escape. You stay behind the red car, keeping your distance, and overtake only on a straight section, when the line changes to a broken one.
Legal basis: Art. 24 para. 7 point 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 86 para. 5 and § 4 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
