§ 1 pt. 1a,b,e of Annex no. 1 to the Regulation of the Minister of Transport, Construction and Maritime Economy on the training of persons applying for driving licences, instructors and lecturers (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1019) in conjunction with art. 24.para. 1 pt 1 of the Act of 20.06.1997 "Road Traffic Act" (consolidated text Journal of Laws of 2005 No. 108, item 908 as amended).
Explanation
Correct answer: No
No, you must not begin the overtaking manoeuvre in this situation. The recording shows a lorry approaching from the opposite direction, which makes it impossible to perform the manoeuvre safely. According to art. 24 para. 1 of the Road Traffic Act, before overtaking, a driver must ensure they have adequate visibility and sufficient space so as not to obstruct any other road user. Starting to overtake in these conditions would risk a head-on collision.
