AMDifficulty 1/5

As a general rule, overtaking is carried out…

Correct answer

On the left.

On the left, as the general rule in article 82. Right-side exceptions include a vehicle ahead clearly indicating a left turn or left-side stop where there is room and safety, or an urban carriageway with at least two marked lanes in the same direction. Mere convenience does not determine the side. Passing an immobilised vehicle has specific rules under article 88; do not summarise all overtaking by claiming both vehicles must invariably be moving.
