In this situation, before you start overtaking, are you obliged to make sure that the driver behind you has not started the same manoeuvre?
Description
Art. 24 para. 1 pt. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, consolidated text as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
Yes, this is one of the basic conditions for safe overtaking, specified in Art. 24 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act. Before you change lanes, you must look in your mirrors (rear-view and side) to make sure the vehicle behind you has not already started this manoeuvre. Ignoring this duty creates the risk of a very serious side-on collision.
