In this situation, are you allowed to occupy more than one lane?

Description

Art. 16 para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, consolidated text as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

On a carriageway with marked lanes, as in the situation shown in the video, the driver is obliged to travel within a single lane. According to Art. 16 para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act, occupying more than one lane is only permitted when changing lanes. Driving in this manner obstructs traffic for other vehicles and creates a hazard.
