Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Is it permitted? Will I manage to complete it safely, without any doubt?.
Before overtaking, make sure of two things: that it is permitted at that place and in the road conditions, and that you can complete it safely, with sufficient visibility and a sufficient gap from a vehicle coming toward you. If there is any doubt, do not overtake. The amount of the fine, insurance coverage and whether there is a hard shoulder do not determine whether overtaking is permitted and safe.
