Are you allowed in this situation to continue overtaking from the right on the motorway?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are driving in the right of two motorway lanes, and a black car is driving in the left lane just ahead of you; on the right, beyond a solid line, there is only the hard shoulder. The motorway roadway is one-way with marked lanes, so overtaking on the right is allowed here and you may continue the manoeuvre. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act makes overtaking on the left the general rule, but allows overtaking on the right on a section of road with marked lanes on a one-way roadway. The driver in the left lane does not expect you on the right and may want to move into your lane, so you keep your distance, watch their indicator and do not stay too long in their blind spot.
