Is overtaking always prohibited solely because you are on a roundabout?

Correct answer

No, it may be permitted subject to other rules and safety conditions.

No. Article 87.1.c.1 includes roundabouts among exceptions to the prohibition on overtaking at intersections. Other rules, signs, safety and lane-use requirements still apply. The general rule is overtaking on the left; overtaking on the right is allowed only in the cases authorised by article 82.2. It is incorrect that overtaking on every roundabout is permitted only on the right, or that it must be done at high speed.
