A thousand zlotys fine and eight points is a penalty for a truck driver who overtook another truck on S8. From July 1, so-called elephant races are banned.
The ban on overtaking trucks by other trucks applies on motorways and expressways with two lanes in one direction. This is intended to improve traffic flow on the main communication routes. According to the officers, one of the truck drivers did not comply with the applicable regulations. Ostrów police officers, part of the Masovian SPEED group, registered this offense in the morning on Monday, October 9.
