Correct answer

  • BSí, cuando sea posible hacerlo sin invadir el sentido contrario.Yes, when it can be done without moving onto the opposite side of the road.
Explanation

On bends with reduced visibility it is prohibited to overtake by moving into the area for the opposite direction, but you may overtake if the manoeuvre is done without entering it or crossing the continuous line, for example overtaking a bicycle while leaving the required lateral gap. The fact that nobody is coming does not allow you to cross the line.
