In what situation is overtaking another vehicle allowed?

Overtaking another vehicle is permissible when there is a broken yellow line in your lane. This marking indicates that passing is allowed, as the broken line signifies that it is safe to do so, assuming other conditions—such as visibility and traffic—aren't compromised. A driver should always ensure they can safely maneuver past the vehicle ahead without exceeding the speed limit or putting themselves and others at risk.

In contrast, a solid yellow line indicates no overtaking is allowed, as it typically signifies potentially hazardous conditions. Situations that suggest no overtaking at all, such as those indicated in other choices, are not compliant with safe driving practices and regulations. Therefore, the only scenario where overtaking is legal and safe is when a broken yellow line indicates it is permitted.
