You are driving a lorry of gross vehicle weight rating not exceeding 3.5 tonnes. Are you allowed in this situation to overtake the passenger car?
Description
§ 23 para. 3 of the regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended).
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
The B-26 sign 'No overtaking by heavy goods vehicles' prohibits overtaking multi-track motor vehicles. However, this ban only applies to heavy goods vehicles with a maximum authorised mass (MAM) exceeding 3.5 t. Since you are driving a vehicle whose MAM does not exceed this value, this ban does not apply to you, and you can perform the overtaking manoeuvre, remembering not to exceed the speed of 70 km/h.
