Correct answer
No, in this case observe the general rule of overtaking on the left.
No. The general rule requires overtaking on the left. Two lanes alone do not permit right-side overtaking outside a built-up area. Article 82 exceptions require their specific conditions. When traffic occupies the full width and each lane moves at the speed of its preceding vehicle, faster progress in one lane is not considered overtaking; it does not authorise changing lanes to overtake.
