Will you be acting accordingly if you go past the vehicle in front from the right side?

Description

Art. 23 para. 1 pt. 2 of the Act of 20 June 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

The recording shows a heavy vehicle (garbage truck) signalling an intention to turn left and has stopped to wait for an opportunity to perform the manoeuvre. According to Art. 23 para. 1 pt. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, passing a vehicle signalling an intention to turn left may only take place on its right side. Therefore, passing it on the right is the correct procedure in this situation.
