BDifficulty 2/5

On a two-way road, a broken-down vehicle occupies your lane and a continuous line separates directions. May you cross it to pass?

Correct answer

Yes, but only when there is no danger.

Yes, after checking it can be done safely under Article 88. Passing a broken-down vehicle occupying your lane requires at least 1.5 metres of safety width and a speed reduction of at least 20 km/h below the road limit. If the conditions cannot be met safely, wait. The exception does not permit passing vehicles stopped for traffic needs, such as a queue, in this way.
