Are you allowed in this situation to overtake the vehicle from the right?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street with tram tracks on the left; the roadway is two-way, with one lane in each direction - a black car passes you from the opposite direction. The red car in front of you keeps to the left part of the lane, and some free asphalt is left on the right. You must not overtake it there: overtaking on the right is allowed only on a roadway with marked lanes - a one-way roadway, or a two-way roadway when at least two lanes lead in your direction in a built-up area (three outside it). The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act requires you to overtake on the left, and allows overtaking on the right on a section with marked lanes on a one-way roadway, or on a two-way roadway when at least two lanes in a built-up area (three outside it) lead in the same direction. Squeezing between a car and the edge of the roadway is not overtaking on the right, but a dangerous manoeuvre within one lane.
Legal basis: Art. 24 para. 3 and para. 10 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
