When you want to perform the overtaking maneuver, you have the following obligations:
To ensure a proper lateral safety distance, the drivers of motor vehicles (except for motor vehicles with two wheels) will perform the overtaking maneuver of bicycles or electric scooters respecting, in addition to the obligations regarding the overtaking maneuver, also the following obligations, depending on the speed with which these move (art. 118 paragraph 2 of the Regulation):
In conclusion, if you move with up to 50 km/h you are obliged at least to cross the marking, and if you move with more than 50 km/h you are obliged at least to pass with half of the width of the motor vehicle over the marking. It must be remembered that the above are not only recommendations, these are obligations, and their non-compliance is sanctioned according to the law.
It must be remembered that in the case in which a road sector has this marking made with a continuous line the overtaking of bicycles or electric scooters can no longer be performed, because it is prohibited the crossing or passing over this marking with a continuous line, and for the overtaking of these vehicles it is obligatory to cross or to pass over this marking. The only regular option is to move behind these vehicles until the end of the marking with continuous line and the beginning of the marking with discontinuous line which can be crossed and the overtaking of these vehicles can be regularly performed.
These legislative provisions related to the overtaking of bicycles or electric scooters were added in 2021 in the road legislation.

b) to signal the intention of performing the overtaking;
c) to keep during the overtaking a sufficient lateral distance from the overtaken vehicle;
d) to re-enter the lane or in the initial line of traffic after he has signalled and made sure that he can perform this maneuver in safe conditions for the overtaken vehicle and for the other participants in traffic.(2) To ensure the lateral safety distance, when overtaking a bicycle or an electric scooter the drivers of motor vehicles, other than those that move on two wheels, perform this maneuver by passing over the longitudinal marking of separation of the directions of travel or of separation of the lanes on the same direction, with at least half of the width of the motor vehicle when its speed of movement is greater than 50 km/h, or at least by crossing these markings when the speed of movement is at most 50 km/h.
