You are in the middle of overtaking. May you cause an accident in this situation?

Description

Art. 24 para. 1 pt. 1 and 28 para. 3 pt. 3 in relation to art. 3 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Yes, overtaking in this situation is extremely dangerous and could lead to a tragic accident. According to Art. 24 para. 7 of the Road Traffic Act, overtaking is prohibited immediately before and at a railway crossing. This manoeuvre restricts visibility of the tracks and distracts the driver, who should be focused on stopping the vehicle safely before the B-20 'STOP' sign and ensuring no train is approaching.
