## Question
The area near the top of an uphill slope has poor visibility and easily becomes a blind spot, so you must slow down to a stop-ready speed (jokō), and you must not overtake in that location.

## Correct answer
True

## Explanation
The Rules of the Road state that the area near the top of an uphill slope has poor visibility, so you must slow down to a stop-ready speed (jokō), and you must not overtake there. The area near the top is a blind spot where oncoming vehicles are difficult to see, so jokō and a prohibition on overtaking are required.
