BDifficulty 2/5

On a two-way road, a car wants to overtake another car on the left at a junction that is not a roundabout. Its road has no signed priority and the manoeuvre requires entering opposing traffic. The car ahead is going straight on. Is it permitted?

Correct answer

No, this case meets no exception allowing overtaking at the junction.

No. Article 87 prohibits overtaking at junctions and nearby, subject to exceptions that do not apply here. This is not a roundabout, a permitted overtake on the right, a road with explicitly signed priority or an overtake of a two-wheeled vehicle. Nor is there a general rule always giving a supposed main road priority: without signs, apply Article 57’s rules.
