Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are driving in a town on a two-way roadway, in a lane with tram tracks; in front of you a car is driving in the same lane, and on your right there is a clear lane going in the same direction, separated by a broken line. In a built-up area you can overtake it on the right. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act allows overtaking on the right on a section of road with marked lanes on a two-way roadway, if in a built-up area at least two lanes are intended for traffic in the same direction. The condition is that you follow the general rules: visibility, space and no manoeuvre signalled by the vehicle in front of you. You change lanes with your indicator on and do not cut in when you return.
