Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: When visibility is poor or when the field of vision is obstructed or limited.
Overtaking requires a clear view of the road ahead, including oncoming traffic, so the manoeuvre can be finished safely. That is why it is forbidden when visibility is poor, such as in fog or heavy rain, or when the view is blocked or limited, as before a bend or a hilltop. Driving uphill or at night does not ban overtaking by itself, only when it limits what you can see.
