On the brow of a hill with reduced visibility, you must drive leaving completely clear the half of the carriageway for those who may be travelling in the opposite direction. This is set out in Article 29 of the General Traffic Regulations, which states that on bends and brows of hills with reduced visibility vehicles must keep to the right and as close as possible to the edge of the carriageway, leaving enough side clearance to pass oncoming vehicles safely. This rule gives vehicles coming the other way enough room to manoeuvre safely.
