BDifficulty 2/5

A driver notices another vehicle intends to overtake on the left, and is not turning or stopping on the left. What must the driver do?

Correct answer

Facilitate the overtaking by keeping close to the right edge

Facilitate it by keeping close to the right edge of the carriageway without accelerating or obstructing the overtake, under Article 86. There are exceptions for turning or stopping on the left. It does not require a dangerous manoeuvre; heavy or large vehicles also have specific duties to facilitate passing, including using a practicable shoulder under paragraph 3 conditions.
