BDifficulty 1/5

A car follows another in the same lane and has not started overtaking. The front car has just signalled a move left to overtake. As a general rule, must the rear car respect its precedence?

Correct answer

Yes, the front vehicle has precedence in this situation.

Yes, under article 84.2. Before starting to overtake, check the preceding vehicle’s intention and respect its precedence to move towards the same side. If it does not exercise that precedence after a reasonable time, you may start after warning it by sound or light and meeting all other safety and legal conditions. There is no fixed waiting time or automatic permission after waiting; a wide shoulder is not enough either.
