What distance should you keep when overtaking a motorcycle?
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 but not shorter than 1 metre.
According to Art. 24 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, when overtaking a motorcycle, it is mandatory to maintain a distance of no less than 1 metre. A motorcyclist, as a vulnerable road user, is particularly sensitive to the blast of air created by the overtaking vehicle, which could threaten their stability.
