Is it correct to cross a double continuous line to overtake a cycle?
A)Yes.Correct
B)No.
Even if overtaking is prohibited, the part reserved for the opposite direction may be invaded to:
- Overtake slow and vulnerable users (cycles, mopeds, pedestrians, animals and animal-drawn vehicles), when their speed allows the maneuver to be performed without risk.
- Pass obstacles or immobilized vehicles (broken down, in an accident, etc.), after making sure there is no danger (if the reason for the immobilization is imposed by traffic needs, it cannot be passed, and you must remain behind it).
Therefore, in the case of the question, it is correct to cross the double continuous line to overtake since they are cycles.
