Correct answer

  • BSí, después de asegurarse de que puede realizarse sin peligro.Yes, after making sure it can be done without danger.
Explanation

When, on a stretch of road where overtaking is prohibited, there is an obstacle or a vehicle immobilised for reasons unrelated to traffic (breakdown, accident or other emergency) blocking the lane in your direction, you may pass it even if you need to use part of the lane for the opposite direction, always after making sure that you can pass without danger. Going past an immobilised vehicle or an obstacle is not considered overtaking but passing.
