BDifficulty 1/5

On a carriageway with lanes in the same direction, traffic occupies its full width and each vehicle’s speed depends on the vehicle ahead in its lane. Without changing lanes, right-lane traffic moves faster than left-lane traffic. Is this considered overtaking?

Correct answer

No, when these conditions hold and you stay in your lane.

No, under Article 83(2). Different progress between lanes in these conditions is not considered overtaking. Changing lanes to overtake or gain places is not permitted: lane changes are allowed only to prepare to turn, leave the carriageway or take a particular direction, while observing other rules. There is no general prohibition on moving with your own lane.
