BDifficulty 2/5

A vehicle clearly signals a left turn. There is enough space to overtake on its right without using the shoulder or endangering anyone, and no other prohibition applies. On which side should this overtaking take place?

Correct answer

On the right, with the utmost precautions.

On the right with the utmost precautions, under the exception in article 82.2. Having several lanes does not by itself permit overtaking on the right outside a built-up area. Article 82.3 allows it in built-up areas with at least two marked lanes in the same direction and no danger. In dense traffic, one queue advancing faster than another may not count as overtaking under article 83.2.
