On a motorway outside a built-up area, in freely flowing traffic and with no applicable exception, may you overtake a slower vehicle on the right?

Correct answer

No, under those conditions.

No: overtaking is on the left. Do not confuse it with one lane moving faster in congested traffic, which Article 83.2 does not count as overtaking. There is also no 120 km/h limit applicable to every vehicle: obey the limit for the vehicle and road.
