Correct answer
Yes, provided the overtaking manoeuvre can be carried out safely.
If it is not possible to keep fully to the right-hand edge of the carriageway, but the overtaking manoeuvre can nonetheless be carried out safely, the driver of a large lorry who is about to be overtaken must indicate this possibility to the approaching vehicle, by extending the arm horizontally and moving it repeatedly backwards and forwards, with the back of the hand facing backwards, or by switching on the right-hand indicator, when they do not consider it appropriate to signal with the arm.
