Correct answer
Yes, when the manoeuvre is permitted and safe and priority is respected.
Yes, if the manoeuvre is permitted and safe and respects the priority of traffic already in the target lane. The current catalogue permits crossing these markings for certain manoeuvres but prohibits driving along them except for the specified width-and-safety exception. A broken line does not itself reserve a lane for heavy vehicles or authorise every overtake. Check mirrors and the blind spot and signal the manoeuvre.
