Can you overtake a vehicle on the right in the situation illustrated?

Show the correct answer

Correct answer

YES

Explanation

In the video you are driving at sunset on a dual carriageway with barriers in the central reservation; your roadway has two lanes, you are in the right-hand one, and a white car is driving ahead of you in the left-hand lane. In this situation you may overtake it on the right. The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act states that when overtaking, you pass on the left side of the vehicle being overtaken, but it allows overtaking on the right on a stretch of road with marked lanes on a one-way roadway, provided the general conditions for overtaking are met. Each roadway of a dual carriageway, such as a motorway or an expressway, is a one-way roadway, and the lanes in the video are marked with a broken line - so the conditions are met. Before the manoeuvre, you make sure that you have visibility and space, that no one is overtaking you, and that the driver of the white car is not signalling a move to the right-hand lane. The driver of the white car should return to the right-hand lane when it is free, but the fact that he does not do this does not prevent you from overtaking him on the right - you drive in your own lane and go past him without changing lanes right in front of him.
