Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving in the right lane of a town street with two lanes in your direction, past a bus stop, and in the left lane ahead of you there is a red car; further on there is a pedestrian crossing with traffic lights, and the light is green. In this situation you are allowed to overtake this vehicle 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 one-way roadway, and on a two-way roadway if at least two lanes in a built-up area are intended for traffic in the same direction; a crossing with traffic lights, where traffic is controlled, does not rule out overtaking. When overtaking in the right lane, you exercise particular caution, watch that the red car is not moving over to the right, and look out for pedestrians at the bus stop.
