In this situation, have you performed an overtaking manoeuvre?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are driving straight on in your lane, and cars, including a white minibus, are coming from the opposite direction and passing you. Driving past a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction is passing an oncoming vehicle, not overtaking. So you have not performed an overtaking manoeuvre.
The Road Traffic Act distinguishes three similar-sounding manoeuvres: passing an oncoming vehicle (wymijanie) means driving past a vehicle travelling in the opposite direction, going around (omijanie) means driving past a vehicle that is not moving, and overtaking (wyprzedzanie) means driving past a vehicle travelling in the same direction. When passing an oncoming vehicle, you keep a safe distance from it, and if necessary you move to the right and reduce your speed.
Legal basis: Art. 2 point 26-28 and Art. 23 para. 1 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
