When travelling on a dual carriageway with a lorry of maximum permissible weight 7 tonnes, are you permitted to overtake a vehicle that is not carrying out maintenance work and travelling at a slightly slower speed?
Explanation
Correct answer: No
No. Under art. 24 para. 11 of the Road Traffic Act, on a motorway and a dual expressway the driver of a truck with a permissible gross weight over 3.5 t must not overtake another motor vehicle (except one carrying out cleaning work) when the speed difference is small. A vehicle with a permissible gross weight of 7 t is covered by this ban.
