In this situation, can you bypass the car which has stopped in order to give way to a pedestrian?

Description

§ 8 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws of 2002, No. 170, item 1393, as amended) Art. 26 para. 3 pt. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

The regulations strictly prohibit passing a vehicle that has stopped to give way to a pedestrian at a pedestrian crossing. This manoeuvre is extremely dangerous because the driver who is passing cannot see the pedestrian, who is obscured by the stopped vehicle. This is regulated by Art. 26 para. 3 pt. 2 of the Road Traffic Act.
