According to Article 88.2 of the General Traffic Regulations, a stationary vehicle occupying the lane on a stretch where overtaking is prohibited may be passed, even if you have to use the side for the opposite direction, after making sure it can be done without danger. If it has broken down, you must leave at least 1.5 metres of space and reduce your speed by at least 20 km/h (Article 88.1, as worded by RD 518/2026).
