In foggy conditions, if visibility is sufficient to perform the maneuver safely, is it permitted to overtake another vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that overtaking is prohibited in places or circumstances where visibility is insufficient. However, the presence of fog does not imply an automatic prohibition if it is not dense. Analysis of the correct answer: Overtaking is allowed if visibility is good, but with extreme caution. This means you must ensure you have enough space, use appropriate lighting (low beam or front fog lights), and be prepared to abort the maneuver if fog density increases suddenly. Why are the other options incorrect? 'No, it is totally prohibited': False, it is only prohibited if the lack of visibility makes the maneuver dangerous. 'Only motorcycles': False, the rule applies to all vehicles; there is no specific exception for motorcycles based solely on light fog.
