Are you allowed to start an overtaking manoeuvre in the situation shown?
Description
Art. 24 para. 1 pt. 1, para. 7 and para. 8 pt. 2; art. 5 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 and 1448) and § 86 para. 4 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended)
Explanation
Correct answer: No
No, overtaking is prohibited in this situation. The P-3 "single prohibitory line" road marking is visible on the carriageway, which, from the side of the solid line (i.e., our side), forbids crossing it. Additionally, the difficult winter conditions and driving on the crest of a hill where visibility is limited make this manoeuvre extremely dangerous. According to Art. 24 para. 7 of the Road Traffic Act, it is forbidden to overtake a motor vehicle on the crest of a hill.
