BDifficulty 1/5

On a Spanish autopista outside a built-up area, with freely flowing traffic and no prescribed exception, may you move into the right lane to overtake a vehicle simply because it is travelling slowly?

Correct answer

No

No. Article 82 generally requires overtaking on the left. The other vehicle’s low speed does not create an exception. Article 83 distinguishes situations not considered overtaking, such as dense traffic rows progressing at different speeds or certain dedicated lanes. Observe the limit applying to your vehicle and section; not every vehicle has a 120 km/h maximum.
