Are you obliged to keep a safe distance when passing a stationary vehicle?

Yes, during a passing manoeuvre, the driver is obliged to maintain a safe distance from the passed vehicle, road user, or obstacle. This is required by Art. 23 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act and is intended to ensure safety. In the situation shown in the video, an adequate distance is crucial to avoid a collision with, for example, a suddenly opened door of a parked vehicle.
