DDifficulty 3/5

As a general rule, can a bus overtake on the right a vehicle travelling more slowly in the left-hand lane?

Correct answer

No.

No. As a general rule, overtake on the left. With enough space and utmost caution, overtake on the right a vehicle clearly indicating a left turn or stopping on the left, or a tram travelling along the centre of a two-way road. Within a built-up area this is also permitted on carriageways with at least two marked lanes in the same direction, when safe. A simple lane change to the left does not by itself establish the first exception.
