Correct answer
No, because there is insufficient visibility.
Overtaking is not permitted on a crest with reduced visibility on a two-way road like the one shown. The main reason is that when visibility is limited because of a change in level, such as a road gradient, there is a high risk of being unable to carry out the overtaking manoeuvre safely or stop it once it has begun because there is insufficient visibility. Traffic regulations prohibit overtaking when there is insufficient visibility to perform the manoeuvre safely. This includes bends, crests with reduced visibility, and situations in which weather or environmental conditions reduce visibility.
