What distance should you keep when overtaking a passenger car?

Description

Art. 24 para. 2 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: Safe, dependent on the width of the road and traffic conditions.

When overtaking a passenger car, the regulations require maintaining a "safe distance". Unlike when overtaking, for example, a cyclist, the law does not specify a minimum distance in metres here. The driver must independently assess what distance will ensure the safety of both vehicles, taking into account speed and road conditions.
