The centre line of a road is a solid line next to a broken line. The broken line is on your side. Can you cross it to pass?

  1. No, you can never cross a centre line made of two lines
  2. Yes, but only if you sound the horn first
  3. Yes, if the view is clear and the oncoming lane is free for enough distance
  4. Yes, at any time, because the solid line is on the other side
Show answer

Correct answer: Yes, if the view is clear and the oncoming lane is free for enough distance

You may use the lane on the left when the broken line is closest to you. You must also have a clear view, no fog or heavy rain, and enough free road to finish the pass. This applies to a road with one lane in your direction.
