Correct answer
Yes, if necessary, provided no road traffic rule is breached
Yes. Maintain at least 1.5 metres and use part or all of the adjacent or opposing lane as appropriate; with more than one lane per direction, change lanes completely. Do not endanger or obstruct oncoming users, even on the shoulder. Outside built-up areas, reduce speed to at least 20 km/h below the limit before and throughout the manoeuvre. Article 88 provides a conditional exception on no-overtaking sections, not permission to ignore every signal or overtake without visibility.
