In this situation, are you allowed to drive on the roadway occupying its entire width?

Description

Art. 16 para. 4 of the Act of 20 June 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

In accordance with Art. 16 para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act, the driver of a vehicle is obliged to drive as close as possible to the right-hand edge of the carriageway. The road visible in the video is a two-way street, so occupying its entire width would make it impossible to safely pass a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and would create the risk of a head-on collision.
