Chapter: Ch. 5 Driving Method
Section: 第６節 追越しなど
Type: True/False
Difficulty: medium

## Question
In sections where the center line of the road is marked with a solid yellow line, crossing over to the right side to overtake the vehicle ahead is prohibited, but overtaking within the lane without crossing the center line is permitted.

## Correct answer
True

## Explanation
This statement is correct. Chapter 5, Section 6 of the Rules of the Road (Overtaking, etc.) states that when there is a solid yellow line (no crossing for overtaking marking), you must not cross over to the right side of the road to overtake. However, overtaking within the range that does not involve crossing over is not prohibited. If you do not cross the center line, it is possible to overtake safely within the same lane.
