BDifficulty 3/5

Under article 87.1.a, unless the traffic directions are clearly delineated and the opposing-traffic area is not entered, in which situation is overtaking prohibited?

Correct answer

When visibility is insufficient to complete it or abandon it safely.

When available visibility does not allow safely completing the manoeuvre or abandoning it once started, including bends and crests with restricted visibility. The stated exception does not permit a dangerous manoeuvre or remove other prohibitions. Current article 87.1.b also prohibits overtaking at marked pedestrian crossings and the other locations it specifies; adequate visibility alone does not remove that prohibition.
