No. In this scenario it would have to cross a continuous line it may not cross. A slow-moving lorry or absence of a hard shoulder does not authorise the manoeuvre. A continuous line does not by itself prohibit every overtake entirely within the driver’s own lane, and regulated exceptions exist for certain obstacles or road users when all requirements are met; those circumstances are excluded here.
