Can a military column be overtaken?
The army announces that moving equipment is part of the training, so from now on, drivers may notice a larger number of military columns on the roads. The General Command of the Armed Forces therefore reminds that specific rules apply to civilian drivers on the roads.
First, a military column can be overtaken, but the maneuver must be performed smoothly and without interruption. Please also remember that it is strictly forbidden to drive between vehicles traveling in a column. The army also reminds us to keep an appropriate distance from the column and follow the orders of the services.
No photos or videos
The army also sent an appeal to drivers who notice military columns on the road. "We ask you not to publish photos, recordings, locations or routes of troops. We ask you not to share information in real time," it was noted. It was added that if we really want to react to the sight of military personnel, it is best to simply wave at them.
