Are you allowed to drive over a solid line?

The main rule for a solid lineA solid line between traffic lanes or carriageways may, in principle, not be crossed. You also may not be on the left side of such a line if it separates traffic travelling in opposite directions.A double line: which one applies to you?If there is a broken line next to the solid line on your side, that broken line is the one that applies to you. Traffic on the other side may simultaneously have a solid line and therefore not be allowed to carry out the same manoeuvre.Look at the marking directly on your side.Check your mirrors and blind spot before changing lanes.Also pay attention to arrows, signs and hard shoulder signal boards.Exam tipPlan an overtaking or lane change early. If you only realise just before a solid line that you want to drive differently, continuing safely is usually better than making a sudden manoeuvre.View the RVV 1990 at the official source.
