Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we are driving a tram on tracks in the roadway, and on the right, in the same direction, there are slower cars which the tram is passing. In this situation you are performing an overtaking manoeuvre - the answer is YES.
Overtaking means passing a vehicle or road user moving in the same direction. A tram travelling faster than the cars in the neighbouring lane goes past them, so it overtakes them, even though it moves on its own track. When overtaking, you must exercise particular caution and keep a safe distance. Watch especially the cars driving right next to the tracks, because they may unexpectedly change lanes and pull in front of the tram.
