BDifficulty 2/5

You want to overtake on the left. The vehicle ahead has just signalled that it will move to the same side to overtake, and no reasonable waiting time without its starting the manoeuvre has elapsed. May you begin your overtake now?

Correct answer

No; respect the precedence of the vehicle signalling a move to the same side.

No. Before overtaking, check that the vehicle ahead has not signalled its intention to move to the same side; if it has, respect its precedence. If it does not move after a reasonable time, overtaking is possible only when lawful and safe, after warning it with sound or light signals under the applicable rules. An indicator does not confer absolute priority or authorise an unsafe manoeuvre; check following traffic and all other overtaking conditions too.
