BDifficulty 2/5

The white vehicle behind you is moving into the left-hand lane to overtake you. In this situation, may you begin an overtaking manoeuvre?

Correct answer

No, because the driver of the white vehicle has priority.

No, we may not begin the overtaking manoeuvre because the driver of the white vehicle has priority. Before overtaking, it is essential to make sure that no other vehicle has indicated its intention to overtake or is moving towards the same side to carry out the manoeuvre. In this specific situation, the white vehicle behind us, which we can see in the rear-view mirror, is moving into the left-hand lane to overtake us. This means that the driver of the white vehicle has already indicated his intention to overtake and therefore has priority.
