Question 7187
On this curve with reduced visibility, may a passenger car pass a motorcycle by occupying the lane reserved for traffic in the opposite direction?

- Yes, provided that it leaves a minimum lateral clearance of 1.5 meters.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, it is prohibited, since the maneuver cannot be performed safely.
No. On a curve with limited visibility, you must not pass by entering oncoming traffic, even to pass a motorcycle and even if you only use part of the other lane. Leaving 1.5 meters of clearance does not make it safe, because you cannot see whether anyone is approaching from the opposite direction.
