Should you increase the distance from the drunk cyclist when passing him?

Should you increase the distance from the drunk cyclist when passing him?

Description

Art. 4 in conjunction with art. 23 of the Act of 20 June 1997, the Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended).
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

Definitely yes. An intoxicated cyclist is extremely unpredictable – they may suddenly change their path, wobble, or fall. In accordance with the principle of limited trust (Art. 4 of the Road Traffic Act), when you see such a person, you must maintain a much greater lateral distance than when passing a sober cyclist to avoid hitting them.
