In this situation, can you start overtaking on the right?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street in a town under a flyover, behind a dark car; beyond the flyover the roadway in your direction widens to two lanes separated by a broken line, and the right lane is free. In this situation you may start overtaking 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 of overtaking: particular caution, making sure that you have space and that the driver in front of you is not signalling a change to the right lane. You switch on your right indicator, check the right mirror and the blind spot, and overtake in the right lane, without cutting in afterwards.
