Explanation

The motorcyclist performs correctly the maneuver of overtaking the truck because he signals the maneuver, does not cross over the axis of the road, therefore he does not in any way hinder the driver of the red car, and the sign “Overtaking motor vehicles, except motorcycles without sidecar, prohibited” is not addressed to the drivers of motorcycles without sidecar. Therefore the motorcyclist proceeds in compliance with the traffic rules.

If he crossed over the axis of the road, the situation changed, and the driver of the motorcycle proceeded not in compliance with the traffic rules, because when through the overtaking maneuver the axis that separates the directions of travel is crossed, the drivers of vehicles must make sure that from the opposite direction no vehicle is approaching.

The correct answer is: A
