Overtaking vehicles is prohibited in curves. ATTENTION!, is prohibited the overtaking of all vehicles. Therefore, if in front of you a bicycle is moving, you must reduce the speed and move carefully behind it until the road offers you good visibility conditions to be able to perform the overtaking maneuver in safety conditions.
As long as overtaking you is prohibited it no longer makes sense to warn him that you are overtaking him. In addition, it must be known that the use of the horn is prohibited at a distance less than 25 meters from those to whom it is addressed.
Is prohibited the overtaking of all vehicles, including bicycles. See the explanation of answer A.
To ensure a corresponding lateral safety distance, the drivers of motor vehicles (except motor vehicles with two wheels), will perform the overtaking maneuver of bicycles or electric scooters respecting, besides the obligations regarding the overtaking maneuver, also the following obligations, depending on the speed with which they are moving (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 cross with half of the width of the motor vehicle over the marking. It must be retained that the above are not only recommendations, these are obligations, and their non‑observance is sanctioned according to the law.
It must be retained that in the case in which a road sector has this marking executed with continuous line the overtaking of bicycles or electric scooters can no longer be performed, because is prohibited the crossing or passing over this continuous line marking, and for overtaking these vehicles it is obligatory the crossing or passing over this marking. The only regulatory option is to move behind these vehicles until the end of the continuous line marking and the beginning of the broken line marking which may be crossed and the overtaking of these vehicles may be performed in compliance with the rules.
These legislative provisions related to the overtaking of bicycles or electric scooters were added in 2021 in the road legislation.

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 re‑enter the lane or the initial line of traffic after he has signalled and has made sure that he may perform this maneuver in safety conditions for the overtaken vehicle and for the other traffic participants.(2) For ensuring the lateral safety distance, at the overtaking of a bicycle or an electric scooter the drivers of motor vehicles, other than those moving on two wheels, perform this maneuver by crossing the longitudinal marking of separation of the traffic directions or of separation of the lanes on the same direction, with at least half of the width of the motor vehicle when its moving speed is greater than 50 km/h, or at least by crossing these markings when the moving speed is at most 50 km/h.

Regulation** - Article 113
