Is it obligatory in this situation to decrease the speed of the vehicle in order to execute the passing manoeuvre safely?
Description
Art. 23 para. 1 pt. 2 of the Road Traffic Act
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
Yes, when performing a passing manoeuvre, you must exercise special caution and, if necessary, reduce your speed. In this situation, there is a pedestrian on the carriageway, which creates an additional obligation to reduce speed to ensure safety and to be able to react in time to their potential behaviour. According to Art. 23 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, this is the driver's duty.
