Correct answer
No, because it requires entering opposing traffic with insufficient visibility.
No. Article 87 of the General Traffic Regulations prohibits overtaking where visibility does not allow the manoeuvre or abandoning it safely. The exception requires clearly separated directions and overtaking without entering the opposing traffic area; that does not apply here. The absence of a prohibition sign or solid line does not authorise the manoeuvre.
Legal basis: art. 87 RGC
