Overtaking is the maneuver by which a vehicle passes in front of another vehicle or alongside an obstacle, located in the same direction of travel, by changing the direction of travel and leaving the traffic lane or the line of vehicles in which it was initially. [OUG* Art. 45 paragraph (1)]

TO REMEMBER:

1. Whether we want to pass in front of another vehicle located in the same direction, or we want to avoid an obstacle on the carriageway located in the same direction, it is still called overtaking;
2. Whether we cross over the marking that separates the directions of travel and enter the opposite direction, or we do not cross over the marking that separates the directions of travel and remain in the same direction, it is still called overtaking.

The correct answer is: B
