Is it permitted to cross a solid longitudinal line, encroaching on the opposite direction, in order to overtake a moped with a bus, as long as there is no danger?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Even if overtaking is prohibited on the stretch, for example by a solid longitudinal line, Article 88(2) of the General Traffic Regulations allows overtaking bicycles and other cycles, mopeds, personal mobility vehicles, pedestrians, animals, animal-drawn vehicles and agricultural special vehicles, even if it means occupying the part of the roadway reserved for oncoming traffic, if because of their speed they can be overtaken without risk to them or to traffic and it has been checked that the maneuver can be done without danger. In addition, Article 85(4) requires leaving at least 1.5 meters of lateral distance from the moped on any road, and prohibits endangering or hindering those traveling in the opposite direction. That is why the solid line does not prohibit this maneuver absolutely. Nor does the rule provide the dangerous curves sign as an exception: what it requires is checking that there is no danger.
