C1Difficulty 3/5

At a junction inside a built-up area there are two marked lanes in the same direction. With no other prohibition, a lorry overtakes a two-wheeled motorcycle on the right after checking it can do so safely. Do these overtaking rules allow it?

Correct answer

Yes, it is an exception to the prohibition on overtaking.

Yes, under the stated conditions. Overtaking a two-wheeled vehicle is an independent exception to the junction prohibition. Also, inside built-up areas right overtaking is permitted on carriageways with at least two marked lanes in the same direction when it can be done safely. Having two wheels alone does not authorise any right overtaking: both rules, other signs and safety conditions must be satisfied.
