When overtaking the cyclist shown in the photograph, is it mandatory to encroach on the oncoming lane of the carriageway?
A)No.
B)No, because overtaking cyclists is prohibited.
C)Yes.Correct
When overtaking outside built-up areas pedestrians, animals, two-wheeled vehicles or animal-drawn vehicles, vehicles immobilised on the road, or breakdown vehicles while they are carrying out assistance and rescue operations, the manoeuvre must be carried out by occupying part or all of the adjacent lane of the carriageway. If there is more than one lane in your direction, the adjacent lane must be fully occupied, and a lane change is mandatory when overtaking cycles, mopeds or groups of them. In any case, the lateral clearance must not be less than 1.50 metres. Although in the image for this question a solid line can be seen prohibiting overtaking, it is permitted to cross it in order to occupy the oncoming lane, since overtaking bicycles is considered a passing manoeuvre and not an overtaking manoeuvre. The same passing rule applies to mopeds, pedestrians, animals and animal-drawn vehicles.
