In this situation, can you overtake the cyclist if you keep to the distance of 0.5 m?

Description

Art. 24 para. 2 of the Act of 20 June 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) in conjunction with § 86 para. 5 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: No

No. According to Art. 24 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act, the minimum distance when overtaking a cyclist is 1 metre, not 0.5 m. Furthermore, the video shows a double solid line, which must not be crossed, and a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction. Overtaking under these conditions is prohibited and extremely dangerous.
