Question 882 in the bank

According to the following picture, is it permitted to deviate to the opposite lane?

A view from the driver's window of a light-coloured car, looking toward the side mirror. On the left is a road with two parallel continuous white lines and rows of palm trees along it. There are cars ahead and a white car on the right.
  1. Yes, the driver already looked at the mirror and nobody came behind him.
  2. Yes, you can deviate to the opposite lane after glancing at the mirror, because no one drives behind.
  3. Yes, if the winker is turned on, there is no need to glance at the mirror.
  4. Correct answer: No, due to the double continuous separation line on the roadway.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: No, due to the double continuous separation line on the roadway.

A double continuous separation line means you must not cross it or drive over it into the opposite lane, even when the road looks clear. Looking in the mirror and signalling are important safety actions, but they do not permit you to break a road marking. Even a driver who has signalled and looked in the mirror may not deviate over the line.

Topic: Safety. The bank marks it for these classes: Light truck (C1), Heavy truck (C), Bus (D), Motorcycle (A), Tractor (1), Private car (B).
