Correct answer
Yes, if you are certain that you can complete the overtaking manoeuvre safely.
Yes, with enough space, visibility and time to finish safely and return to your lane without forcing others to change their movement abruptly. Article 84 requires checking safety conditions before starting. Observe speed limits, signal and maintain safe clearances; a constant speed at all costs is not required. If danger develops, abandon the manoeuvre as appropriate to road conditions rather than insisting on passing both lorries. This is not limited to motorways or autovías.
