Crossing a solid halfway line to overtake is permitted at any time when the road ahead is clear.

• A. Cannot determine from information
• B. Only when legal
• C. False
• D. True

Answer: (C)

The rule being tested is about center-line markings and overtaking. A solid line in the middle of the road means you must not cross it to pass another vehicle, even if the road ahead looks clear. Overtaking is only allowed where the line is broken or dashed, and only if you can do so safely without cutting in front of the other vehicle or forcing traffic from the opposite direction to slow down or swerve. The road appearing clear isn’t a justification to cross a solid line, because hidden hazards—like oncoming traffic around a bend or near junctions—could appear suddenly. So the statement is false: crossing a solid halfway line to overtake is not permitted. You may cross a solid line for turning into a driveway or side road, but not to overtake.
