Description

Road Traffic Act of June 20, 1997 (Journal of Laws 1997 No. 98 item 602 as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

The image shows an oncoming vehicle marked with a plate with the letter "L", indicating a learner driver. According to Art. 55 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act, when passing a learner vehicle (which includes the manoeuvre of passing oncoming traffic), you are obliged to exercise extreme caution. This is because a person in training may behave less predictably on the road than an experienced driver.
