If the driver of a lorry observes that a vehicle has indicated its intention to turn left, may they overtake it on the right?

Correct answer

Yes, provided there is sufficient space.

On roads outside built-up areas, overtaking is generally carried out on the left of the vehicle being overtaken. Exceptionally, this manoeuvre may be carried out on the right, with extreme caution, and only when there is sufficient space, when the driver of the vehicle being overtaken indicates their intention to turn left or stop on that side.
