BDifficulty 2/5

When planning to overtake using the opposite side of the road, may a driver begin relying on an approaching driver moving aside to make room?

Correct answer

No, first check that overtaking will not endanger or obstruct oncoming traffic.

No. Article 84 requires first checking that sufficient space exists without endangering or obstructing oncoming traffic. Cooperation to avoid danger does not authorise creating it or require another driver to use an unsafe shoulder. All users must drive diligently and avoid harm.
