Correct answer
No, that reason does not authorise overtaking on the right.
No. Overtaking is normally on the left under Article 82. Another vehicle’s incorrect lane use does not itself authorise right-side overtaking. There are regulated exceptions, and different lane speeds in congested traffic do not always constitute overtaking; this scenario excludes those cases. Keep separation and do not pressure the other vehicle.
