You want to overtake. What is the right thing to do?

Overtaking is allowed here, so your choice “overtake” is correct.

The key rule is: you may overtake as long as the road markings and the traffic situation allow it safely. In the picture, the center line on your side is broken, which means you are allowed to cross it to pass. There is also enough visibility ahead, and the oncoming lane appears clear, so an overtake can be carried out if you can complete it quickly without forcing anyone to brake or swerve.

Two important rules of thumb for similar questions: First, “only overtake if I remain in the right-hand lane” is wrong because overtaking normally requires leaving your lane; staying in the right lane would mean you are not really passing. Second, even when overtaking is permitted by the markings, you must still check mirrors, signal, keep a safe lateral distance (especially to cyclists), and return to the right lane as soon as it’s safe.
