In this situation, may you pass the stopped vehicle?

  1. Yes, after making sure it can be done safely.
  2. Yes, always.
  3. No, because the longitudinal road marking prohibits it.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, after making sure it can be done safely.

Yes, after checking that it is safe. You may go past a broken-down vehicle blocking your lane, like the one in the image, even if there is a solid line and you have to enter the oncoming lane. You must leave at least 1.5 meters of clearance and travel at least 20 km/h below the road's speed limit.
