Description
topic 5 of teaching material 2.2.2. of appendix no. 1 to the Regulation of the Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy of 13 July 2012 on the training of persons applying for driving licenses, instructors and lecturers (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1019 as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: When i'm sure that there is no risk of "cutting in" on the vehicle being overtaking.
According to Art. 16 para. 4 of the Road Traffic Act, after completing an overtaking manoeuvre, you must immediately return to the right-hand lane. This manoeuvre must be performed safely, meaning only when you are certain that you will not force the driver of the overtaken vehicle to brake or change direction. In conditions of limited visibility and on a slippery road surface, as shown in the picture, you must maintain a particularly large and safe distance before returning to your lane.
