What distance should you keep when passing a stationary obstacle on the road in a passenger car?
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: Safe, depending on the width of the road and traffic conditions.
Passing is driving past a stationary obstacle (e.g., a parked vehicle, a pothole in the road). According to Art. 23 of the Road Traffic Act, you must maintain a "safe distance" during this manoeuvre. Its size is not specified in metres and depends on the size of the obstacle and the conditions on the road.
