When passing the stationary object on the left, are you obliged to keep a safe distance?
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
Yes, when performing the manoeuvre of passing a stationary object, you must always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle, road user, or obstacle being passed. This obligation, stemming from Art. 23 para. 1 pt. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, also applies to the temporary traffic island visible in the video. Failure to maintain an appropriate distance risks driving onto the obstacle and losing control of the vehicle.
