On a conventional road with good visibility, a continuous line prohibits overtaking. Away from level crossings, junctions, pedestrian crossings and tunnels, whom may a car exceptionally overtake if it can do so safely?

Correct answer

Cyclists, meeting all required safety conditions.

Cyclists, meeting Articles 88.2 and 85.4 requirements. This is not automatic permission: check visibility and avoid endangering or obstructing oncoming users, including those on the shoulder. Leave at least 1.5 metres and occupy part or all of the adjacent or opposing lane; with more than one lane per direction, change lanes completely. Outside built-up areas, reduce speed at least 20 km/h below the limit. Cyclists are not the only users covered by Article 88.2, but merely travelling slowly does not grant the exception to every lorry.
