Was refraining from overtaking the cyclist proper in this situation?
Description
Art. 24 of the Act of 20 June 1997, Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) in conjunction with § 86 para. 5 and § 90 para. 5 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
Yes, refraining from overtaking is correct. According to Art. 24 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, you must maintain a gap of at least 1 metre when overtaking a bicycle. In the situation shown in the video, maintaining this gap would require crossing the P-4 double solid line, which is prohibited. Therefore, you should wait until the manoeuvre can be performed safely without breaking the law.
