Correct answer
No, except if the two directions of traffic are clearly separated and the opposite direction is not encroached upon.
The general rule prohibits overtaking on bends or hill crests with reduced visibility. An exception applies when the directions are clearly delimited and the manoeuvre can be completed without entering the opposing-traffic area and without danger. Two lanes per direction alone are insufficient: check the separation, safety and other applicable prohibitions. Slowing down does not remove an overtaking prohibition.
