Correct answer

  • CSí, cuando mantiene la separación lateral reglamentaria y no ocupa el sentido contrario.Yes, when it keeps the required side clearance and does not enter the opposite side of the road.
Explanation

Under Article 87.1 of the General Traffic Regulations, overtaking is prohibited on bends with reduced visibility, unless the two directions of traffic are clearly separated and the manoeuvre can be done without entering the part of the road for the opposite direction. A motorcycle can overtake another within its own lane if it keeps the required side clearance.
