You are driving outside a built-up area on a one-way road. Can you overtake the vehicle on the right?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo, you are driving outside a built-up area on the one-way roadway of a dual carriageway, with two lanes in your direction and a barrier on the left. The car in front of you is in the left lane, and the right lane is free. On a one-way roadway with marked lanes you are allowed to overtake on the right. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act makes overtaking on the left the general rule, but it allows overtaking on the right on a section of road with marked lanes on a one-way roadway. The number of lanes does not matter here - the condition of at least three lanes outside a built-up area applies only to a two-way roadway. When overtaking on the right, you watch the indicator of the vehicle you are overtaking, because its driver should return to the right lane and may not notice you.
