For answer  A 

It is possible that in the case of answer A there is confusion between the prohibition of overtaking and the prohibition of stopping in the area of tram, trolleybus or bus stations. The road legislation does not prohibit overtaking, but prohibits voluntary stopping at less than 25 meters before and after stations.

Therefore, although voluntary stopping is prohibited in these areas so as not to hinder the movement of public transport means, the road legislation does not provide the prohibition of overtaking in the same conditions.

Another confusion could arise when it is assumed that if stopping is prohibited, overtaking would automatically be prohibited as well, which is not correct.

It is important to mention that the prohibition of voluntary stopping does not automatically entail the prohibition of overtaking. Where stopping is prohibited, the overtaking maneuver is generally permitted if there is no other prohibition. Instead, where overtaking is prohibited, voluntary stopping is prohibited by road legislation, because stopping in a place where overtaking is not allowed would oblige the drivers of the vehicles coming from behind to perform the overtaking maneuver (which is prohibited) and thus an additional danger for traffic safety would be created.

Therefore, answer A cannot be correct.

For answer  B 

Overtaking vehicles is prohibited in intersections with uncontrolled traffic. Attention! In such intersections, overtaking of any type of vehicle, including bicycles, is not permitted.

For answer  C 

The road legislation does NOT prohibit carrying out the overtaking maneuver in controlled intersections, regardless of whether these are controlled by regulatory priority signs, traffic lights or signals of the traffic police officer.

The correct answer is: B

The overtaking maneuver and the places where overtaking is prohibited - Audio-Video Lesson --> Road Traffic Code - Overtaking
