Correct answer

Yes, under the stated conditions and with the utmost caution.

Yes, with the utmost caution and compliance with other rules. This exception applies when the vehicle being overtaken clearly signals a left turn or an intention to stop on that side. Any lateral movement is insufficient and does not permit entering a prohibited area or carrying out a dangerous manoeuvre.
