What distance should you keep while overtaking a group of pedestrians?

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.

The provisions of the Road Traffic Act (Art. 24 para. 2) precisely state that the minimum distance when overtaking a column of pedestrians is 1 metre. This is a requirement dictated by the safety of pedestrians, who are particularly vulnerable to the danger caused by the air blast from an overtaking vehicle.
