Is it permitted to overtake on a curve with reduced visibility by invading the opposite direction?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, it is strictly forbidden. According to General Traffic Regulations, overtaking is prohibited on curves and grade changes with reduced visibility. There is one exception: it is allowed only if the two directions of traffic are clearly delineated (e.g., solid line) and the maneuver is performed without invading the zone reserved for the opposite direction. Since the question specifies that the opposite lane is invaded, the action is illegal and unsafe due to the risk of a head-on collision.
