When you want to perform the overtaking maneuver, you have the following obligations:
To ensure a proper lateral safety distance, the drivers of motor vehicles (except motor vehicles with two wheels) will perform the overtaking of bicycles or electric scooters respecting, in addition to the obligations regarding the overtaking maneuver, also the following obligations, depending on the speed with which they move (art. 118 paragraph 2 of the Regulation):
In conclusion, if you move with up to 50 km/h you are obliged at least to cross the marking, and if you move with more than 50 km/h you are obliged at least to pass with half of the width of the motor vehicle over the marking. It must be noted that the above are not only recommendations, these are obligations, and their non-compliance is sanctioned according to the law.
It must be noted that in the case in which a road section has this marking made with a continuous line the overtaking of bicycles or electric scooters can no longer be performed, because the crossing or passing over this continuous line marking is prohibited, and for overtaking these vehicles it is mandatory to cross or pass over this marking. The only regulatory option is to drive behind these vehicles until the end of the continuous line marking and the beginning of the broken line marking which can be crossed and the overtaking of these vehicles can be performed according to the rules.
These legislative provisions regarding the overtaking of bicycles or electric scooters were added in 2021 to the traffic legislation.
The correct answer is: C
Regulation** - Article 118
(1) The driver of a vehicle who performs the overtaking is obliged:
a) to make sure that the one who follows him or precedes him has not signalled the intention to start a similar maneuver and that he can overtake without endangering or without hindering the traffic coming from the opposite direction;
b) to signal the intention of performing the overtaking;
c) to keep during the overtaking a sufficient lateral distance from the overtaken vehicle;
d) to return to the lane or in the initial line of travel after he has signalled and made sure that he can perform this maneuver in safe conditions for the overtaken vehicle and for the other road users.(2) To ensure the lateral safety distance, when overtaking a bicycle or an electric scooter the drivers of motor vehicles, other than those moving on two wheels, perform this maneuver by passing over the longitudinal marking separating the directions of travel or the one separating the lanes on the same direction, with at least half of the width of the motor vehicle when its travel speed is greater than 50 km/h, or at least by crossing these markings when the travel speed is at most 50 km/h. (Paragraph (2) was modified and updated on www.scoalarutiera.ro on 06-10-2021)
Regulation** - Article 119
The driver of a vehicle who is about to be overtaken is obliged:
a) not to increase the travel speed;
b) to drive as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway or of the lane on which he moves.
