DDifficulty 3/5

On a carriageway with several lanes per direction, traffic is congested and each line moves at the speed of the vehicles ahead. A bus stays in the right-hand lane and its line moves faster than the others. Is that permissible?

Correct answer

Yes.

Yes. In those conditions, one line moving faster than another is not considered overtaking (Article 83.2). Keep a safe following distance and obey signs; this exception does not authorize lane changes to overtake by taking advantage of congestion.
