Is the driver of a green car allowed to overtake? — Tesakan

Is the driver of a green car allowed to overtake?

There are road works in the right lane, and the red car is bypassing them in the middle lane. To overtake, the green car would have to enter the oncoming far-left lane, and entering it is prohibited regardless of the red car's speed.

On two-way roads with three lanes separated by broken lines, entering the far-left lane, which is intended for oncoming traffic, is strictly prohibited (clause 54). In the picture the right lane is closed for road works (sign 1.25), so to bypass the obstacle the red car correctly takes the middle lane. To overtake the red car, the green car would have to move into the prohibited far-left lane, so the maneuver is prohibited.

Option 1. This option ignores the rule that on three-lane two-way roads entering the far-left lane is always prohibited.
Option 3. There is no exception for a slow-moving vehicle that would allow entering the oncoming far-left lane of a three-lane road.
