Are you allowed to drive onto the lane designated to vehicles driving in the opposite direction?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
You are driving behind a lorry on a two-way road. The centre of the roadway is separated by a double line in which one line is solid and the other is broken - this is P-3, a line that may be crossed from one side only. The solid line is on your side, and the broken line is on the side of oncoming traffic. Such a line may be crossed only from the side of the broken line, so you cannot drive onto the opposite lane. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals says that P-3 prohibits crossing it or driving onto it from the side of the solid line; the only exception is returning to your own lane after overtaking, if the broken line is on your side. Here it is the other way round, so you must put off overtaking the lorry until the place where the line on your side changes to a broken one.
Legal basis: § 86 para. 4 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
