A driver may cross a solid halfway line to overtake if the road ahead is clear.

• A. Cannot determine from information
• B. Only when legal
• C. False
• D. True

Answer: (C)

Overtaking is governed by road markings. A solid line in the middle means you must not cross it to pass another vehicle. Even if the road ahead looks clear, you are not allowed to overtake when the line is solid. You may only overtake when the line is broken (dashed) and it’s safe to do so. The solid line serves to prevent passing in situations where visibility or space isn’t enough to pass safely, such as on narrow roads or near bends.
