Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

True
The statement is correct because Highway Code Rule 129 explicitly allows drivers to cross or straddle a solid white line on their side of the road to pass a pedal cycle, horse rider, or road maintenance vehicle moving at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less, or to pass a stationary vehicle, as long as the road is clear and it is safe to do so.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the primary legal restriction for double white lines where the nearest line is solid.
Highway Code Rule 129 states that drivers must not cross or straddle a continuous white line on their side of the carriageway as a general rule.
Establishing the standard prohibition creates the legal baseline for evaluating exemptions.
2
Assess the statutory exemptions permitted under Rule 129.
Drivers may cross the solid line if safe to enter adjoining premises, turn into a side road, pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse, or road maintenance vehicle moving at 10 mph or less.
Exemptions prevent unreasonable and hazardous congestion behind exceptionally slow or stationary obstructions.
3
Apply the exemption criteria to the situation described in the statement.
The statement specifies overtaking a pedal cycle travelling at 10 mph or less when safe, which matches the exact legal exception in Rule 129.
Matching the condition to the legal rule confirms the statement is true.
