Are you obliged to maintain a safe distance each time when driving past vehicles?
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

In accordance with the provisions of the Road Traffic Act, the driver is required to maintain a safe distance when passing a vehicle, road user, or obstacle. This obligation applies in all cases, as a safe distance allows a collision to be avoided in the event of unforeseen incidents, e.g., a door opening on the vehicle being passed. If necessary, speed should also be reduced.
