Correct answer
No, the safety distance must always be maintained.
No. Article 54.1 requires enough space to stop without a collision, accounting for speed, grip and braking. Signalling an intention to overtake can affect the additional gap intended to help others overtake, but does not remove this basic safety distance. A gap alone does not guarantee clear visibility: before overtaking also ensure sufficient visibility and a safe manoeuvre.
