Correct answer
No, visibility is insufficient to use the opposing lane safely.
No. Article 87.1.a prohibits overtaking when visibility is insufficient to complete or abandon the manoeuvre safely. A broken centre line does not remove that prohibition. Overtaking a bicycle is not enough to justify entering an unseen opposing lane. The exception requires clearly delimited traffic directions and completing the manoeuvre without entering the opposing area; those conditions are not met here.
