In the visible situation, can an overtaking manoeuvre result in the vehicle skidding and cusing a road accident?

Description

Art. 3 para. 1 in conjunction with art. 19 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 and 1448)
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, in the conditions shown, the overtaking manoeuvre is extremely risky. Heavy snowfall significantly reduces visibility, and the snow-covered, slippery road surface creates a very high risk of skidding. In accordance with the general principle of caution (Art. 3 of the Road Traffic Act), you should refrain from dangerous manoeuvres in such conditions to avoid causing an accident.
