You are driving a lorry of gross vehicle weight rating of 12 tones. Are you allowed in this situation to overtake the passenger car?
Description
§ 23 para. 3 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and 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: No
The B-26 'no overtaking by heavy goods vehicles' sign visible on the right prohibits the overtaking of multi-track motor vehicles by drivers of heavy goods vehicles with a maximum authorised mass exceeding 3.5 t. Since you are driving a vehicle with a MAM of 12 t, this prohibition applies to you. According to § 23 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals, you do not have the right to perform an overtaking manoeuvre in this situation.
